Summary: |
The author discusses the debate between living constitutionalism and originalism in legal
theory in the United States. While the originalists believe that it is necessary to interpret the
Constitution in accordance with the beliefs of the founding fathers and the actual text, the

the current context. The author supports the thesis of living constitutionalism and following
Strauss arguments, he shows the weaknesses and inconveniences of originalism. |
