Interpreting the Constitution

The foundation of all U.S. laws come from the Constitution - a document that was written over 200 years ago. Things have changed since then. The challenges faced by our country and the world are vastly different today. With the recent debate of Roe vs Wade and the constitution, we take a look at an important question: How do we apply the principles in the constitution to our current-day legal issues? Interpreting the Constitution is a very sensitive and controversial topic. In today's episode we look at two ways that people interpret the Constitution: as an originalist and as a living document.
