Framers Intent: The Illegitimate Uses Of History, Pierre Schlag
Seattle University Law Review
In this Article, I will present a series of attacks on intentionalism.

Currently, one almost has to justify departure from the framers intent in advancing a nonconforming constitutional interpretation. This Article is an attempt to reverse this assumed burden of persuasion.
