The Interpretable Constitution by William F Harris
Examines three features of American constitutionalism: the Constitution's authoritativeness; its written character; and its consequent readability. Drawing on recent work in literary and constitutional theory, Harris aims to alter the nature of the debate on constitutional meaning.
"In the best tradition of political philosophy, Will Harrisaims to make us puzzle over things taken for granted and to awaken a sense of wonder about the whole enterprise of written constitutionalismHis book often succeeds in provoking the uneasy feeling that time-honored categories of constitutional analysis are radically inadequate. This alone is a profound achievement."--Stephen Macedo, 'American Political Science Review'
