Interpreting the Constitution (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book uniquely presents a sophisticated account of possible approaches to constitutional interpretation and also examines how major provisions in the U.S. Constitution are, and should be, interpreted. Together, the chapters show why simple, straightforward approaches, such as textual originalism, are insupportable, and why even providing a more complex but systematic account of what judges should do is impossible.
