A Constitution of Many Minds by Cass R Sunstein
Intends to propose a fresh way of interpreting the Constitution, one that respects the Constitution's text and history but also refuses to view the document as frozen in time. This work shows how the meaning of the Constitution is reestablished in every generation as fresh social commitments and ideas compel us to reassess our fundamental beliefs.
Applying.. insights to the field of constitutional law, the book develops, in elegant and careful prose, a novel collection of arguments within their discipline. The author [has] raised a number of fresh and controversial issues, and, as a result, [his] work is certain to be widely read and much discussed. -- N.W. Barber Texas Law Review Sunstein has a knack for identifying the operative kernel of complex ideas in a way that allows the reader to see how an unfamiliar concept links seemingly disparate problems. -- Azuz Huq New York Law Journal We would do well to have more thinkers around like Sunstein, and better yet to have more of them on the Supreme Court. -- Leonard H. Becker DC Lawyer Magazine
