| Annotation | Explores the ideological and political assumptions that underlie the "original meanings" of the Constitution and the resulting ambiguities. Critiques the method that looks solely to the founders' intent for adapting the document to modern circumstances. Examines specific issues, such as federalism and the influence of James Madison. |
