Goldford American Constitution and the Debate Over Originalism <THE> - New York Abdi Tandur 2005 xi, 305 p.; 23 cm 23 cm Indeks : Index Located at the intersection of law, political science, philosophy, and literary theory, this book explores the nature of American constitutional interpretation through a reconsideration of the long-standing debate between the interpretive theories of originalism and nonoriginalism. It traces that debate to a particular set of premises about the nature of language, interpretation, and objectivity, premises that raise the specter of unconstrained, unstructured constitutional interpretation that has haunted contemporary constitutional theory. 1.
