Zusammenfassung:"Methods of Interpretation: How the Supreme Court Reads the Constitution provides students of the Court with an overview of the perennial best approaches to constitutional interpretation as practiced, not theorized." "This landmark work examines the various methodologies the Supreme Court and individual justices have employed when interpreting the Constitution. Rather than attempting to set forth an overall theory of constitutional interpretation or enter into the scholarly debate over interpretative theory, Lackland H. Bloom, Jr. focuses exclusively on what the Court and individual justices have done and said about constitutional interpretation in the course of deciding specific cases. Some methodologies of constitutional interpretation have changed over the course of the Court's history but most have not. Indeed several of the most prevalent methods of constitutional interpretation and adjudication are simply variations of techniques often employed by lawyers and judges well before the Constitution was drafted and ratified. This book identifies many of the best - and a few of the worst - examples of particular interpretative methodologies, as well as the preeminent discussions of constitutional interpretation by individual justices."--BOOK JACKET.
