Sommario/riassunto |
|
This text tackles the important and controversial question of how judges should interpret the American Constitution. The Constitution contains a great deal of language that is vague, broad, or ambiguous, making its meaning uncertain. Many people believe this uncertainty allows judges too much discretion. |
