How We Understand It All... and Do We?

from Rights and Liberties

Welcome back listeners to the third episode in our series on Rights and Liberties! In this episode, we will cover the 8 methods of interpretation presented in our textbook: textual analysis, precedent, Constitutional doctrine, logical reasoning, "living Constitution", foreign law and courts, consequentialism (aka pragmatism), and originalism. We'll also get a brief 'practice' session with these methods using the Kennedy v. Bremerton School district case from 2022. Interpretation here we come!
