Course Description
Perhaps the most important question in constitutional law is how judges and other interpreters should approach a more than two hundred-year-old document. Should they confine themselves to the Constitution's original meaning or the original intentions of its drafters? Should they attempt to make the Constitution the best it can be? Should they resolve ambiguities in favor of democratic self-governance? Constitutional theorists have offered many different answers to these questions.
