5. LEARNING AMERICA’S LIBERTY AND FREEDOM
From Constitutional
Interpretation to Judicial
Activism: The Transformation of
Judicial Review in America
Judicial Review is not the limited
power now that it was in 1789,
which is 3 different sorts of power.
“Traditional” period, from birth of
Constitution until the end of the
19th century. Referred to as fair
reading moderate judicial review.
“Transitional” period from 19th until
1937 traditional theory with activist
judicial review.
“Modern” period until present has
new activist theories of constitution
interpretation and judicial review.
Constitutional
Interpretation and
British Law
Two most important rules for
interpretation during the
founding were:
Relative paucity of discussions
about them.
Constitutional interpretation was
viewed as a special case of the
rules of statutory interpretation
developed in British Law.
H. Jefferson Powell has a
different view in “Consensus and
Objectivity in Early Constitutional
Interpretation.
C. Wolfe
Judicial Review
The most important argument
presented in both statements
flows from reasoning abut the
nature of a written constitution.
A written constitution that
contains limits on government
must be regarded as superior to
ordinary law otherwise limits are
illusory.
Laws Contrary to the
Constitution are therefore void.
This is because the interpretation
of the laws is the province of the
court. Federalist 78. The
Judiciary Department (1788).
6. TEACHING THE VIRTUES AND ETHICS TO FOREIGN
STUDENTS
American colleges teach students to debate on subjects such as abortion, euthanasia,
capital punishment, DNA research and transplant surgery.
Students are also being taught private decency, honesty, personal responsibility and honor.
Students are also being taught the importance of reasonable moral judgement. For example, a
Harvard instructor teaching the history of the Second World War and the rise of the Nazi. His
Harvard students believed that the Holocaust was considered, “no fault history.”
7. SELF RELIANCE
RALPH WALDO EMERSON (1803-1882)
Ne te quaesiveris extra
“Man is his own star; and the soul that can
Render an honest and a perfect man,
Commands all light, all influence, all fate,
Nothing to him falls early or to late.
Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk try us still.”
Epilogue to Beaumont and Fletcher’s Honest Man’s Fortune
