Commerce In The Commerce Clause: A Response To Jack Balkin, David B. Kopel, Robert G. Natelson
Commerce In The Commerce Clause: A Response To Jack Balkin, David B. Kopel, Robert G. Natelson
David B Kopel
The Constitution’s original meaning is its meaning to those ratifying the document during a discrete time period: from its adoption by the Constitutional Convention in late 1787 until Rhode Island’s ratification on May 29, 1790. Reconstructing it requires historical skills, including a comprehensive approach to sources. Jack Balkin’s article Commerce fails to consider the full range of evidence and thereby attributes to the Constitution’s Commerce Clause a scope that virtually no one in the Founding Era believed it had.
