How to Interpret the Constitution

In "How to Interpret the Constitution," bestselling author Cass Sunstein argues for a reevaluation of constitutional interpretation amid significant Supreme Court decisions affecting fundamental rights, such as abortion and voting. He presents various approaches to interpretation, emphasizing that the chosen method should positively impact American life. Sunstein critiques the originalist perspective, asserting that the Constitution doesn’t provide self-executing instructions for interpretation, and calls for a defense of methods based on their effects on rights, institutions, and democracy. This timely and compelling book is essential for anyone concerned about the evolving landscape of American rights and freedoms.
