This study, based on an original synthesis of political theory, history, law, and a larger approach to the interpretation of culture, develops a general theory of constitutional interpretation, touching on a myriad of current topics of constitutional controversy, including church-state relations, the scope of free speech, and the application of the constitutional right to privacy, abortion, and consensual adult sexual relations. 606 $aFreedom of religion$zUnited States 606 $aFreedom of speech$zUnited States 606 $aPrivacy, Right of$zUnited States 606 $aConstitutional law$zUnited States 615 0$aFreedom of religion 615 0$aFreedom of speech 615 0$aPrivacy, Right of 615 0$aConstitutional law 676 $a342.73085 700 $aRichards$b David A.
