A Neutral and Thorough Accounting of the Constitution’s Original Meaning
Over the past two decades, the federal judiciary has increasingly grounded its cases in the Constitution’s original meaning. Students, scholars, lawyers, and judges are now expected to understand and apply the text, history, and tradition of the Constitution. The Third Edition of The Heritage Guide to the Constitution will provide a comprehensive starting point to research these issues from before, during, and after the Constitution’s adoption. The Heritage Guide will provide all Americans with an authoritative and accessible introduction to our foundational charter.
The 216 essays in the Third Edition of The Heritage Guide were authored by more than 150 distinguished jurists, scholars, and practitioners. Each essay was carefully reviewed to ensure they were of the highest quality and accuracy, while maintaining a neutral approach. This once-a-decade publication strives to be the definitive compendium about each provision of the Constitution.
As the description suggests, this edition has been substantially revised to focus specifically and systematically on the Constitution’s original meaning (while also nothing places where modern doctrine has departed from the original meaning, and places where the original meaning is unclear). Many of the contributors will have familiar names for regular readers of this blog (including mine — my contributor is on the treaty power).
