| Summary |
"Issues of constitutional interpretation continue to spark heated national debates in America, and contemporary legal scholarship reflects these debates in the variety of serious, nuanced positions being defended. In this book, ten legal scholars present their views on constitutional interpretation, to provide an introduction to the subject for students, scholars in law-related disciplines, and the general reader."--Provided by publisher |
