In their innovative defense of originalism, John McGinnis and Michael Rappaport maintain that the text of the Constitution should be adhered to by the Supreme Court because it was enacted by supermajorities--both its original enactment under Article VII and subsequent Amendments under Article V. A text approved by supermajorities has special value in a democracy because it has unusually wide support and thus tends to maximize the welfare of the greatest number. The authors recognize and respond to many possible objections. Does originalism perpetuate the dead hand of the past? How can originalism be justified, given the exclusion of African Americans and women from the Constitution and many of its subsequent Amendments? What is originalism's place in interpretation, after two hundred years of non-originalist precedent? A fascinating counterfactual they pose is this: had the Supreme Court not interpreted the Constitution so freely, perhaps the nation would have resorted to the Article V amendment process more often and with greater effect. Their book will be an important contribution to the literature on originalism, now the most prominent theory of constitutional interpretation.Constitutional lawUnited StatesConstitutional lawPhilosophyOrigin (Philosophy)Judicial reviewUnited StatesConstitutional lawConstitutional lawPhilosophy.Origin (Philosophy)Judicial review342.73/0011McGinnis John O.1957-1559506Rappaport Michael B.1960-1580595MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790603803321Originalism and the good constitution3861590UNINA02054nam 2200433 450 991081121340332120230321011536.01-68373-016-X(CKB)3710000000861767(MiAaPQ)EBC4690571(MiAaPQ)EBC6260920(Au-PeEL)EBL6260920(OCoLC)1175911993(EXLCZ)99371000000086176720201105d2016 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrier150 more group therapy activities & tips handouts, activities, worksheets /Judith A.
