  1. 1. On Reading The Constitution

    A clear, accessible exploration of constitutional interpretation that argues judges and citizens should read the document by weighing text, history, structure, precedent, and moral and practical consequences rather than adhering to a rigid method; it critiques strict originalism, defends the courts’ role in protecting individual rights while respecting democratic processes, and shows how constitutional meaning is rooted in legal practice and principles yet must be applied flexibly to address contemporary problems.
