Title: Against Constitutional Originalism Author: Jonathan Gienapp Narrator: Josh Innerst Format: mp3 Length: 11 hrs and 37 mins Release date: 09-03-24 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 10 ratings Genres: Law Publisher's Summary: Constitutional originalism stakes law to history. The theory's core tenet—that the United States Constitution should be interpreted according to its original meaning—has us decide questions of modern constitutional law by consulting the distant constitutional past. Yet originalist engagement with history is often deeply problematic. In this comprehensive and novel critique of originalism, Jonathan Gienapp targets originalists' unspoken assumptions about the Constitution and its history.
