Excerpt from Methods of Constitutional Construction, the Synthetic Method: Illustrated on the Free Speech Clause of the Federal Constitution "Dear Sir: "We are returning to you under separate cover the interesting article we had the pleasure of receiving from you, with regret that we cannot use it. "In passing perhaps it would not be out of the way to suggest that it gives the impression that its author, like the judges it is aimed at, has allowed himself to be carried away by prenatal-predispositions." Thus wrote the "Editor in chief" of a prominent law review in returning the manuscript which is hereinafter published. Among those who are displeased or disappointed with the conclusion of the following essay there will be those inclined to echo the sentiment of this editor and obtuse enough to complacently consider this an adequate disposition of the whole discussion. I frankly accept the implied criticism of my ability to make any essential phase of my meaning clear to any such minds. I do not claim exemption from predispositions. With all of us reasoning is admittedly but an effort to justify our predispositions. But I do make conscious effort (here perhaps I may justly claim to differ from some lawyers) toward habitually founding my predispositions upon a confidence in the scientific method and its impersonal results rather than upon attachment to concrete doctrines of advantage to self, to friends, or class. Of course it may be that in this effort I have failed utterly. Even so, it is hoped that I can make it clear to some readers that I am not merely pitting my predispositions against those of others or my personal desires as such, against the personal desires of others.

This book argues that the Constitution has a dual nature. The first aspect, on which legal scholars have focused, is the degree to which the Constitution acts as a binding set of rules that can be neutrally interpreted and externally enforced by the courts against government actors. This is the process of constitutional interpretation. But according to Keith Whittington, the Constitution also permeates politics itself, to guide and constrain political actors in the very process of making public policy. In so doing, it is also dependent on political actors, both to formulate authoritative constitutional requirements and to enforce those fundamental settlements in the future. Whittington characterizes this process, by which constitutional meaning is shaped within politics at the same time that politics is shaped by the Constitution, as one of construction as opposed to interpretation. Whittington goes on to argue that ambiguities in the constitutional text and changes in the political situation push political actors to construct their own constitutional understanding. The construction of constitutional meaning is a necessary part of the political process and a regular part of our nation's history, how a democracy lives with a written constitution. The Constitution both binds and empowers government officials. Whittington develops his argument through intensive analysis of four important cases: the impeachments of Justice Samuel Chase and President Andrew Johnson, the nullification crisis, and reforms of presidential-congressional relations during the Nixon presidency.

"Courts at times speak of the need for 'interpretation' of constitutions, professedly being concerned only with the 'meaning' of the words employed in the organic laws...However, the far greater task of constitutional adjudication is one requiring 'construction' of the fundamental law. This term is of broader scope than 'interpretation' and properly refers to that legal significance which is to be given to constitutional clauses and words...Approaches of the courts to constitutional construction can be categorised as (a) historical, (b) philosophical, and (c) sociological...There are a halfhundred guides to construction (customarily referred to as 'the canons of construction') which are regularly utilized by the courts of most of the world in dealing with constitutional language, and these guides are treated at length in the second chapter. Succeeding chapters investigate fully the historical and philosophical materials used by the courts in constitutional construction, as well as the methodology of interessenjurisprudenz or the jurisprudence of interests in adjudicating constitutional controversies." -- from the Introduction, p. xxiii-xxiv.

This book describes the constitutions of six major federations and how they have been interpreted by their highest courts, compares the interpretive methods and underlying principles that have guided the courts, and explores the reasons for major differences between these methods and principles. Among the interpretive methods discussed are textualism, purposivism, structuralism and originalism. Each of the six federations is the subject of a separate chapter written by a leading authority in the field: Jeffrey Goldsworthy (Australia), Peter Hogg (Canada), Donald Kommers (Germany), S.P. Sathe (India), Heinz Klug (South Africa), and Mark Tushnet (United States). Each chapter describes not only the interpretive methodology currently used by the courts, but the evolution of that methodology since the constitution was first enacted. The book also includes a concluding chapter which compares these methodologies, and attempts to explain variations by reference to different social, historical, institutional and political circumstances.

Excerpt from Statutes and Statutory Construction: Including a Discussion of Legislative Powers, Constitutional Regulations Relative to the Forms of Legislation and to Legislative Procedure, Together With an Exposition at Length of the Principles of Interpretation and Cognate Topics The law for the construction of written contracts and other private documents is as certain and well defined as upon any other branch of legal science. This is not equally true of the law for the construction of Written Laws. They deal with subjects of greater complexity; they are the product of so many minds, not having common views, that incongruities cannot be wholly excluded, and threads of diverse ideas are often interwoven; and, moreover, opposing considerations of broader range press for recognition in their construction. In many ways converse rules overlap, and the lines of distinction are faint and shifting. The natural tendency and growth of the law is towards system and towards certainty, towards modes of operation at once practical and just, by the process of its intelligent judicial administration; but this process is impaired by over work and legislative interference.

The proper method of constitutional interpretation has been debated throughout the history of the Supreme Court. This debate has been defined by the tension between the originalist and living constitution jurisprudences. Each has been dominant at one point in United States history. A fair construction jurisprudence was almost universally utilized by the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution according to its original meaning until Plessy v. Ferguson. Then, due to an alliance between evangelicals and progressive scholars, a broader, more lenient living constitution jurisprudence developed which allowed justices to interpret the Constitution in light of changing social norms. Finally, following perceived excesses of the living constitution jurisprudence culminating in Roe v. Wade, evangelicals once again adopted a new jurisprudential philosophy to adhere to originalism which soon after grew in public acceptance. It is likely that the future of American jurisprudence lies in the hands of evangelicals who guide the dominant jurisprudence used by Supreme Court Justices.

Chief Justice John Marshall argued that a constitution "requires that only its great outlines should be marked [and] its important objects designated." Ours is "intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently, to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs." In recent years, Marshall's great truths have been challenged by proponents of originalism and strict construction. Such legal thinkers as Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia argue that the Constitution must be construed and applied as it was when the Framers wrote it. In Keeping Faith with the Constitution, three legal authorities make the case for Marshall's vision. They describe their approach as "constitutional fidelity"--not to how the Framers would have applied the Constitution, but to the text and principles of the Constitution itself. The original understanding of the text is one source of interpretation, but not the only one; to preserve the meaning and authority of the document, to keep it vital, applications of the Constitution must be shaped by precedent, historical experience, practical consequence, and societal change. The authors range across the history of constitutional interpretation to show how this approach has been the source of our greatest advances, from Brown v. Board of Education to the New Deal, from the Miranda decision to the expansion of women's rights. They delve into the complexities of voting rights, the malapportionment of legislative districts, speech freedoms, civil liberties and the War on Terror, and the evolution of checks and balances. The Constitution's framers could never have imagined DNA, global warming, or even women's equality. Yet these and many more realities shape our lives and outlook. Our Constitution will remain vital into our changing future, the authors write, if judges remain true to this rich tradition of adaptation and fidelity.
