  <abstract>"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]</abstract>
  <tableOfContents>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.</tableOfContents>
