Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:
Our 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.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 121-135)-and indexes.
How not to read the Constitution -- Structuring constitutional conversations -- Judicial value choice in the definition of rights -- Seeking guidance from other disciplines : law, literature, and mathematics -- Reconstructing the Constitution as a reader's guide.
"Draws heavily on two previous works. The first ... 'On reading the Constitution,' appeared in the Utah law review in 1988. It was a lightly edited version of the Tanner Lectures given by Laurence Tribe at the University of Utah in November 1986, and forms the basis for what became Chapters 1 and 2 of this book. Chapters 3 through 5 are based on 'Levels of generality in the definition of rights,' a recent collaboration by the two of us, which first appeared in the fall 1990 edition of the Chicago law review"--Acknowledgments, page [vii]
