The American Constitution and the Debate over Originalism by Dennis J. Goldford, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Located at the intersection of law, political science, philosophy, and literary theory, this book explores the nature of American constitutional interpretation through a reconsideration of the long-standing debate between the interpretive theories of originalism and nonoriginalism. It traces that debate to a particular set of premises about the nature of language, interpretation, and objectivity, premises that raise the specter of unconstrained, unstructured constitutional interpretation that has haunted contemporary constitutional theory. | The American Constitution and the Debate over Originalism by Dennis J.
