Reconstructing the Constitution as a Reader's Guide Notes Index of Cases General Index 330 $bOur Constitution speaks in general terms of "liberty" and "property," of the "privileges and immunities" of citizens, and of the "equal protection of the laws"--open-ended phrases that seem to invite readers to reflect in them their own visions and agendas. Yet, recognizing that the Constitution cannot be merely what its interpreters wish it to be, this volume's authors draw on literary and mathematical analogies to explore how the fundamental charter of American government should be construed today. 606 $aConstitutional law$zUnited States 615 0$aConstitutional law 676 $a347.3022 700 $aTribe$b Laurence H$0291632 701 $aDorf$b Michael C$0497811 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820052903321 996 $aOn reading the Constitution$949986 997 $aUNINA
