The Original Theory Of Constitutionalism, David Singh Grewal, Jedediah S. Purdy
The Original Theory Of Constitutionalism, David Singh Grewal, Jedediah S. Purdy
Faculty Scholarship
The conflict between various versions of “originalism” and “living constitutionalism” has defined the landscape of constitutional theory and practice for more than a generation, and it shows no sign of abating.

In a series of articles emerging from the project, we have documented how the Executive, Congress and the Supreme Court (wielding both judicial power under Article III of the Constitution and delegated legislative power under the Rules Enabling Act) fared in efforts to reverse or dull the effects of statutory and other incentives for …
