Enterprise Architecture Enables Processes Paper
Purpose of this Assignment
This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply your critical thinking skills and understanding of the course concepts to explain how the enterprise architecture (EA) and/or the EA program supports the other IT management processes of an organization. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes:
· describe enterprise architecture (EA), the appropriate application of EA frameworks, and an overall ongoing EA program
· analyze and examine how enterprise architecture and enterprise systems influence, support, and enable an organization's ability to contribute to strategic decision making and to respond and adapt to the business environment
· apply EA concepts to support business requirements and identify opportunities for enterprise solutions
Assignment
As you have learned throughout the course, EAs can be used to support a wide variety of information technology management processes, and an EA program strengthens IT management activities. A well-defined and implemented EA contributes significantly to each of the phases of the systems development life cycle (SDLC). For this assignment you will write a 3-5 page paper (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages) that explains briefly what enterprise architecture (EA) is and then how it supplements and enables each of the phases of the SDLC:
· initiation/planning/concept phase
· requirements analysis phase
· design phase
· development phase
· integration and testing phase
· implementation/deployment/support/maintenance phase
You should explain how EA enables each phase, how it fits into each phase, and what unique qualities or capabilities a well-defined EA contributes that might not otherwise be available to the organization.
The use of at least two external scholarly resources (other than class materials) is required. (NOTE: More than two external resources are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals (rather than Wikipedia and author-less website postings). Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources using APA format.

· apply EA concepts to support business requirements and identify opportunities for enterprise solutions
Assignment
As you have learned throughout the course, EAs can be used to support a wide variety of information technology management processes, and an EA program strengthens IT management activities. While there are many different flavors of development approaches such as Waterfall, Agile (to name a few), and this assignment will focus on the System Development Life Cycle that is largely associated with a more traditional development approach. Even with an Agile or Agile-like approach, there is still considerable thought and attention paid to the foundational system and software engineering processes that take place during the development life cycle. For purposes of this assignment, let’s focus on the different phases listed below to provide insight into how EA can influence each of these activities.
A well-defined and implemented EA contributes significantly to each of the phases of the SDLC. For this assignment you will write a 3-5 page paper (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages) that explains briefly what enterprise architecture (EA) is and then how it supplements and enables each of the phases of the SDLC:
· Initiation/planning/concept phase
· Systems Analysis and Requirements phase - for this phase, please consider quality or non-functional requirements or the “ilities” (security, maintainability, etc.)
· System Design phase
· Development phase
· Integration and Test phase
· Implementation phase
· Operations and Maintenance phase
Please refer to the Basic IT SDLC link provided in your content area for Week 8 for useful information on each phase.
You should explain how EA enables each phase, how it fits into each phase, and what unique qualities or capabilities a well-defined EA contributes that might not otherwise be available to the organization. Very important!
Please do not just cite the various stages without ensuring that you emphasize how EA helps to enable each phase.

Project 2Develop an executive-level PowerPoint presentation that.docxwkyra78
Project 2
Develop an executive-level PowerPoint presentation that uses the organizations in your case studies as examples to provide an analysis and recommendation to your CIO. Your presentation should include:
1. A brief summary of each organization that includes the following:
· the business the organization is in
· the problem the organization was trying to solve
· whether the enterprise system implementation was a success or not in terms of cost, schedule, performance, and quality
· lessons learned
(Summarized from Project 1)
I. Your presentation should be 8-11 slides that include:
· An introduction or slide outlining the presentation to follow
· 2 slides that summarize the case studies (the business they are in; the problem they were trying to solve; whether the enterprise system implementation was a success in terms of cost, schedule, performance, and quality; and lessons learned)
· 2-3 slides that provide an evaluation of what each organization did right and what it did wrong; and compare and contrast the organizations
· 2-4 slides that provide considerations for the CIO including: benefits and limitations of enterprise systems, determining the best fit for the organization, implementation planning and success criteria (covering structure, processes, and culture of the organization; the phases of the system development life cycle (SDLC); and other considerations)
· A summary/conclusion slide
II. Notes: Details of Presentation
· The bullet points in your presentation will be supported by relevant details in the Notes section of the slides, which contain the actual words you would say to the CIO as you present each slide. Since you cannot actually present the slides in person, the Notes will show what you would actually say. This is an important part of your presentation. If you were writing a paper, the content would be in the notes and the PowerPoint slides would be the outline. [Select the Notes Page under View option in PowerPoint.]
· Presentations with limited or no “Notes” will receive much lower grades, because the bullets should not tell the whole story.
III. Resources
· The use of at least four external scholarly resources (which may include your case studies) is required. (NOTE: More than four resources are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals (rather than Wikipedia and authorless website postings). Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources. Any direct quotes should be indicated within the slide text with appropriate quotation marks and an in-text citation (however, direct quotes should be short and used sparingly, if at all). Complete references for sources should be included in the corresponding Notes section. Paraphrased material can just be referenced within the Notes section of the slides without an in-text citation on the slide. This deviates from APA style but keeps the slides more readable. Note: Do not include your resources on a s ...

BUSM 4194 Leading for Change
Semester 1, 2014
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
Writing instructions and Marking Rubric
This assessment task is a REPORT.
The RMIT College of Business requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
The structuring of a report is very clearly described in the RMIT Study and Learning Centre Report Writing Skills Online Tutorial available on the BUSM4194 course Blackboard site
Your first step in preparing for this assessment task should be to complete this tutorial.
Investing time before you start writing will result in a better report.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in different disciplines and geographical locations. You are required to use the RMIT Business Referencing System. This is available to you via the Library website, in your course site on myRMIT and is uploaded to the assessments folder in the BUSM 4194 course site. This is a 50 page document but reading it through will be enormously helpful for you in this and future assessment tasks.
Make sure that you can clearly distinguish the difference between an essay (page 28 of the document) and a report (page 36).
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES what you will be marked on. If you include additional material that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks, if you forget to w ...

Prior to beginning work on this video presentation, read Fourth Amendment: Search and Seizure (Links to an external site.), The Difference Between the 5th and 6th Amendment Right to Counsel (Links to an external site.), Probable Cause and Reasonable Suspicion (Links to an external site.), Saul Ornelas and Ismael Ornelas Ledesma, Petitioners v. United States (Links to an external site.), and Pre-Trial Motions (Links to an external site.). The fourth, fifth and sixth amendments are the most important of the Bill of Rights which affect criminal law, prosecutions, and defenses in the United States. Consider the protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, the right to remain silent, the right to due process, the right to counsel, and the right to a speedy trial as the “Holy Grail” of constitutional protections for those accused of a crime. Part 1: Your PowerPoint (or equivalent) presentation: If your last name begins with the letters A through G (fourth amendment). Create a five- to eight-slide PowerPoint explaining the fourth amendment. Additionally, provide 50 to 75 words of explanations for each of your PowerPoint slides in the discussion area, just as you would present an oral presentation explaining the slides on the topics listed. In your PowerPoint slides and discussions, List the requirements of the fourth amendment. Define the key term warrant, and provide exceptions to the warrant requirement. Examine what the remedy is for a defendant when a motion granted to suppress is granted for a fourth amendment violation. In all presentations, support your observations using a minimum of two scholarly and/or credible sources either from the required readings this week or from independent research that you conduct in the University of Arizona Global Campus Library or online, and properly cite any references. Making your PowerPoint (or equivalent) Presentation You may wish to include visual enhancements in your presentation. These may include appropriate images, a consistent font, appropriate animations, and transitions from content piece-to-content piece and slide-to-slide. (Images should be cited in APA format as outlined by the University of Arizona Global Campus Writing Center’s Tables, Images, & Appendices (Links to an external site.) resource.)

Project 2Develop an executive-level PowerPoint presentation that.docxwkyra78
Project 2
Develop an executive-level PowerPoint presentation that uses the organizations in your case studies as examples to provide an analysis and recommendation to your CIO. Your presentation should include:
1. A brief summary of each organization that includes the following:
· the business the organization is in
· the problem the organization was trying to solve
· whether the enterprise system implementation was a success or not in terms of cost, schedule, performance, and quality
· lessons learned
(Summarized from Project 1)
I. Your presentation should be 8-11 slides that include:
· An introduction or slide outlining the presentation to follow
· 2 slides that summarize the case studies (the business they are in; the problem they were trying to solve; whether the enterprise system implementation was a success in terms of cost, schedule, performance, and quality; and lessons learned)
· 2-3 slides that provide an evaluation of what each organization did right and what it did wrong; and compare and contrast the organizations
· 2-4 slides that provide considerations for the CIO including: benefits and limitations of enterprise systems, determining the best fit for the organization, implementation planning and success criteria (covering structure, processes, and culture of the organization; the phases of the system development life cycle (SDLC); and other considerations)
· A summary/conclusion slide
II. Notes: Details of Presentation
· The bullet points in your presentation will be supported by relevant details in the Notes section of the slides, which contain the actual words you would say to the CIO as you present each slide. Since you cannot actually present the slides in person, the Notes will show what you would actually say. This is an important part of your presentation. If you were writing a paper, the content would be in the notes and the PowerPoint slides would be the outline. [Select the Notes Page under View option in PowerPoint.]
· Presentations with limited or no “Notes” will receive much lower grades, because the bullets should not tell the whole story.
III. Resources
· The use of at least four external scholarly resources (which may include your case studies) is required. (NOTE: More than four resources are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals (rather than Wikipedia and authorless website postings). Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources. Any direct quotes should be indicated within the slide text with appropriate quotation marks and an in-text citation (however, direct quotes should be short and used sparingly, if at all). Complete references for sources should be included in the corresponding Notes section. Paraphrased material can just be referenced within the Notes section of the slides without an in-text citation on the slide. This deviates from APA style but keeps the slides more readable.

BUSM 4194 Leading for Change
Semester 1, 2014
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
Writing instructions and Marking Rubric
This assessment task is a REPORT.
The RMIT College of Business requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
The structuring of a report is very clearly described in the RMIT Study and Learning Centre Report Writing Skills Online Tutorial available on the BUSM4194 course Blackboard site
Your first step in preparing for this assessment task should be to complete this tutorial.
Investing time before you start writing will result in a better report.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in different disciplines and geographical locations. You are required to use the RMIT Business Referencing System. This is available to you via the Library website, in your course site on myRMIT and is uploaded to the assessments folder in the BUSM 4194 course site. This is a 50 page document but reading it through will be enormously helpful for you in this and future assessment tasks.
Make sure that you can clearly distinguish the difference between an essay (page 28 of the document) and a report (page 36).
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES what you will be marked on. If you include additional material that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks, if you forget to w ...

Evolution or change over time occurs through the processes of natura.docxturveycharlyn
Evolution or change over time occurs through the processes of natural and sexual selection. In response to problems in our environment, we adapt both physically and psychologically to ensure our survival and reproduction. Sexual selection theory describes how evolution has shaped us to provide a mating advantage rather than just a survival advantage and occurs through two distinct pathways: intrasexual competition and intersexual selection. Gene selection theory, the modern explanation behind evolutionary biology, occurs through the desire for gene replication. Evolutionary psychology connects evolutionary principles with modern psychology and focuses primarily on psychological adaptations: changes in the way we think in order to improve our survival. Two major evolutionary psychological theories are described: Sexual strategies theory describes the psychology of human mating strategies and the ways in which women and men differ in those strategies. Error management theory describes the evolution of biases in the way we think about everything. Learning Objectives • Learn what “evolution” means. • Define the primary mechanisms by which evolution takes place. • Identify the two major classes of adaptations. • Define sexual selection and its two primary processes. • Define gene selection theory. • Understand psychological adaptations. • Identify the core premises of sexual strategies theory. • Identify the core premises of error management theory, and provide two empirical examples of adaptive cognitive biases. Introduction If you have ever been on a first date, you’re probably familiar with the anxiety of trying to figure out what clothes to wear or what perfume or cologne to put on. In fact, you may even consider flossing your teeth for the first time all year. When considering why you put in all this work, you probably recognize that you’re doing it to impress the other person. But how did you learn these particular behaviors? Where did you get the idea that a first date should be at a nice restaurant or someplace unique? It is possible that we have been taught these behaviors by observing others. It is also possible, however, that these behaviors— the fancy clothes, the expensive restaurant —are biologically programmed into us. That is, just as peacocks display their feathers to show how attractive they are, or some lizards do push-ups to show how strong they are, when we style our hair or bring a gift to a date, we’re trying to communicate to the other person: “Hey, I’m a good mate! Choose me! Choose me!" However, we all know that our ancestors hundreds of thousands of years ago weren’t driving sports cars or wearing designer clothes to attract mates. So how could someone ever say that such behaviors are “biologically programmed” into us? Well, even though our ancestors might not have been doing these specific actions, these behaviors are the result of the same driving force: the powerful influence of evolution. Yes, evolution—certain trait.
Evolution, Religion, and Intelligent DesignMany people mistakenl.docxturveycharlyn
Evolution, Religion, and Intelligent Design
Many people mistakenly believe that a belief in evolution precludes a belief in God or intelligent design; in other words, some people falsely think that one must be an atheist or agnostic to believe in evolution and the Big Bang. The Catholic Church is one example of a religious institution that has long held the view that evolution and the Big Bang explain ‘how we got here.’ Read the below article from the
Catholic Herald
, and then answer the following questions: Why do you think so many people are mistaken about the ability to believe in God as well as evolution and the Big Bang? Do you find anything problematic about combining religious and scientific explanations of the universe? Explain.
NB: In this discussion, students often misuse the word ‘theory’, saying things such as “the Big Bang/evolution are ‘just’ theories.” But to say this is a misuse of the word 'theory' as it applies to scientific theory. Many people misunderstand the word as it is used in the realm of science, thinking it to mean a guess, a hypothetical, untested idea. However, in science, 'theory' means something different. Please read the article below:
"Just a Theory": 7 Misused Science Words - Scientific American
Article from the
Catholic Herald
By Patrick Cusworth October 31, 2014
Pope Francis's comments on the Big Bang are not revolutionary. Catholic teaching has long professed the likelihood of human evolution
Perhaps it was inevitable that Pope Francis’ comments on the Church’s position on scientific theories such as the Big Bang and evolution would cause a stir. In his address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Pope cautioned against the image of God the creator as “a magician, with a magic wand”, arguing that belief in both theories around the beginnings of the universe and the birth of humankind are consistent with the Catholic faith.
“The Big Bang, which is today posited as the origin of the world, does not contradict the divine act of creation; rather, it requires it”, he stated. Similarly, he argued, “evolution of nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation because evolution pre-supposes the creation of beings which evolve.”
Yet despite further murmurings that Pope Francis was beginning (yet another) revolution in Catholic doctrine, it must be pointed out – the Pope’s declaration on either theory has not broken with established Catholic belief in the slightest.
The Big Bang theory, originally hypothesised in 1927 by Jesuit priest and physicist Georges Lemaître, is based on the central proposition that the universe is continually expanding. As a preposition, the universe was originally contained within a single point, in a highly intense state of heat and density. As the universe began to expand it cooled, allowing the formation of subatomic particles, which began a series of physical cosmological processes, which led eventually to the known universe. While this has become the most co.

Chapter Outline
1. Discovering How Populations Change
2. Mechanisms of Evolution
3. Evidence of Evolution
4. Speciation
5. Common Misconceptions about Evolution
Introduction
All species of living organisms—from the bacteria on our skin, to the trees in our yards, to the birds outside—evolved at some point from a different species. Although it may seem that living things today stay much the same from generation to generation, that is not the case: evolution is ongoing. Evolution is the process through which the characteristics of species change and through which new species arise.
The theory of evolution is the unifying theory of biology, meaning it is the framework within which biologists ask questions about the living world. Its power is that it provides direction for predictions about living things that are borne out in experiment after experiment. The Ukrainian-born American geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky famously wrote that "nothing makes sense in biology except in the light of evolution" (Dobzhansky 1964, 449). He meant that the principle that all life has evolved and diversified from a common ancestor is the foundation from which we understand all other questions in biology. This chapter will explain some of the mechanisms for evolutionary change and the kinds of questions that biologists can and have answered using evolutionary theory.
Discovering How Populations Change
By the end of this section, you will bbe able to:
· Explain how Darwin’s theory of evolution differed from the current view at the time.
· Describe how the present-day theory of evolution was developed.
· Describe how population genetics is used to study the evolution of populations
The theory of evolution by natural selection describes a mechanism for species change over time. That species change had been suggested and debated well before Darwin. The view that species were static and unchanging was grounded in the writings of Plato, yet there were also ancient Greeks that expressed evolutionary ideas.
In the eighteenth century, ideas about the evolution of animals were reintroduced by the naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon and even by Charles Darwin’s grandfather, Erasmus Darwin. During this time, it was also accepted that there were extinct species. At the same time, James Hutton, the Scottish naturalist, proposed that geological change occurred gradually by the accumulation of small changes from pr.

"Evolution in Animals and Population of Humans"
Humans belong to the genus Homo and chimpanzees to the genus Pan, yet studies of primate genes show that chimpanzees and humans are more closely related to one another than each is to any other animals. In light of this result, some researchers suggest that chimpanzees should be renamed as members of the genus Homo. Discuss at least three (3) practical, scientific, and / or ethical issues that might be raised by such a change in naming.

NARRATOR: Research Design-- Observational and Correlational Studies. Since the moment you
were born, you've been exploring the world around you. In a sense, you've been conducting research.
You've noticed the ways people interact with each other, the relative sizes of objects,
NARRATOR [continued]: and how the colors of nature change with the seasons. Each of us is an
amateur researcher, observing, analyzing, and drawing conclusions about everything we see. In order
to conduct a more formal study whose conclusions you can share with others, you need to apply
scientific methods to your research.
NARRATOR [continued]: Knowing about scientific research methods will also help you understand,
interpret, and be more analytical in your thinking about studies you read about in textbooks, journals,
newspapers, or online. To make sure your research is as strong as possible, let's talk about designing
your study and interpreting your results.
NARRATOR [continued]: Specifically, we'll focus on some overarching types of research studies,
when to use an observational design, along with some advantages and disadvantages, two different
types of observational design, those that you conduct in the field and those that you conduct in a
laboratory,
NARRATOR [continued]: analyzing data from an observational study, including some statistical
methods, when to use a correlational design, along with some advantages and disadvantages, how
to design and implement one, and analyzing data from a correlational study.
NARRATOR [continued]: Before we begin to explore research designs, it is important to understand
the terms "variable" and "construct." These terms are used interchangeably and are found throughout
scientific literature.
NICOLE CAIN: A "construct," which can also be called a "variable," is a topic of interest that varies

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

Enterprise Architecture Enables Processes Paper
Purpose of this Assignment
This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply your critical
thinking skills and understanding of the course concepts to
explain how the enterprise architecture (EA) and/or the EA
program supports the other IT management processes of an
organization. This assignment specifically addresses the
following course outcomes:
· describe enterprise architecture (EA), the appropriate
application of EA frameworks, and an overall ongoing EA
program
· analyze and examine how enterprise architecture and
enterprise systems influence, support, and enable an
organization's ability to contribute to strategic decision making
and to respond and adapt to the business environment
· apply EA concepts to support business requirements and
identify opportunities for enterprise solutions
Assignment
As you have learned throughout the course, EAs can be used to
support a wide variety of information technology management
processes, and an EA program strengthens IT management
activities. A well-defined and implemented EA contributes
significantly to each of the phases of the systems development
life cycle (SDLC). For this assignment you will write a 3-5 page
paper (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages) that
explains briefly what enterprise architecture (EA) is and then
how it supplements and enables each of the phases of the SDLC:
· initiation/planning/concept phase
· requirements analysis phase
· design phase
· development phase
· integration and testing phase
2. · implementation/deployment/support/maintenance phase
You should explain how EA enables each phase, how it fits into
each phase, and what unique qualities or capabilities a well-
defined EA contributes that might not otherwise be available to
the organization.
The use of at least two external scholarly resources (other than
class materials) is required. (NOTE: More than two external
resources are required to receive all possible points; see
Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals
(rather than Wikipedia and author-less website postings).
Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources using APA
format.

Chapter 2 Constitutional Principles
8. In framing a government, which is to be administered by men
over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable
the government to control the governed, and in the next place,
oblige it to control itself.
James Madison
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
After studying this chapter you should better understand:
· • The basic allocation of power in the U.S. Constitution to
Congress, the president, and the judiciary
· • The basic nature of constitutionally protected individual
rights
· • The principle of judicial review as expressed in Marbury v.
Madison
· • The basic interpretative approaches that U.S. Supreme Court
justices articulated when considering a “right of privacy” in
Griswold v. Connecticut
· • The nature of the “originalist” and “living constitution”
approaches to constitutional interpretation
The constitutional framers’ world was very different than ours.
They came from 13 colonies with British heritage, all near the
Atlantic coast. The colonies had a combined population of less
than 4 million, and only five cities of more than 10,000, and
few of the inhabitants could hold office, vote, or pursue higher
education. The framers could not have envisioned the
dimensions of a country of more than 300 million people of
diverse races and cultures living across several time zones.
They also could not have anticipated a global economy of heavy
industries, consumer markets, and instantaneous electronic
communications, median human life spans of more than 70
years, or widespread agreement that gender and race should not
limit legal rights and political participation.
The framers could not have foreseen how the country would
change, but they knew that it would. The also knew they had a
precious opportunity. They sought to invent a government based
on libertarian principles that would endure in changing
economic and social conditions. The framers were not of a
9. single mind about how to go about accomplishing these
ambitious goals. They held views that differed in important
ways. Amazingly, they succeeded in building a foundational
legal framework that survives into its third century, and they
did it with only 4,400 words.
This chapter provides an overview of the main features of the
U.S. Constitution and the approaches that judges have employed
to interpret it. Judges’ understanding of their roles can be best
understood in their own words. Accordingly this chapter
includes the opinions of two of the most illuminating U.S.
Supreme Court cases regarding judicial interpretation, Marbury
v. Madison and Griswold v. Connecticut, and a discussion of
their significance.
Text of the Constitution
The U.S. Constitution is a statement of fundamental formal law
to which all other formal laws are subject. Article VI, the
Supremacy Clause, provides, “This Constitution, and the laws
of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof;
and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the
authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the
land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby,
anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary
notwithstanding.” Ultimately even this supreme formal law is
subject to the power of those who can change it. Article V
provides that amendments may be proposed by either two thirds
of both houses of Congress or through a convention called by
two thirds of the state legislatures, and the amendments become
effective if three fourths of the states or state conventions
approve. The Constitution can be changed, but the task was
purposely made difficult.
The text of the Constitution often describes governmental
powers or individual rights only in general terms. The
Constitution gives the federal government limited powers, and it
provides assurances that those powers may not be exercised at
the expense of protected individual rights.
Federal Government
10. The first three articles of the Constitution establish the
legislative, executive, and judicial branches. These articles are
the source of authority for Congress, the president, and the
federal judges.
Congress
Article I established Congress and empowered it to make laws.
The article’s sequential preeminence reflects the framers’
political philosophy that among the three branches the body of
representatives elected from all of the states is most closely
connected to the people. Through the “Great Compromise” two
bodies were established to balance power between large and
small states, with House of Representatives membership based
on population but each state having two members of the Senate.
Initially citizen voters elected representatives, and state
legislators elected senators. With the Seventeenth Amendment,
ratified in 1913, the people also elected senators.
Congress was given power over the matters most likely to be
subject to abuse: taxation, raising an army and navy, and
declaring war. An income tax was not authorized until 1913
with the Sixteenth Amendment, which funded a vast expansion
of the federal government. As noted in Chapter 1, in the original
Constitution, Congress was also given powers later construed to
be very broad, including the power to “regulate commerce …
among the several states” and “[t]o make all laws which shall be
necessary and proper for carrying into execution” the
enumerated powers.
In the interwoven system of checks and balances the House of
Representatives has the sole power to subject another official to
impeachment, and the Senate has the sole power to hold a trial
to determine whether the official is to be removed. This process
for removing a president and federal judges has rarely been
invoked, but it reflects the framers’ concern about the tendency
of those with power to want to expand their influence.
President
Article II provides for a president in whom the “executive
power” is vested. No explanation is given about what
11. constitutes the executive power. The Constitution’s text does
state that the president is the military’s commander in chief. A
number of other specific presidential powers are listed: to grant
pardons for offenses against the United States, to make treaties
with the approval of two thirds of the Senate, and to appoint
ambassadors and judges “with the advice and consent of the
Senate.”
Article II also provides that the president and other civil
officers “shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and
conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and
misdemeanors.” This set a standard for Congress’s exercise of
its power to remove the president.
Judiciary
Article III only generally describes the federal judiciary and its
powers. It says, “The judicial Power of the United States shall
be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as
the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” The
Constitution lets Congress set the number of the Court’s justices
and its procedural rules, as well as the configuration of inferior
federal appellate courts and trial courts.
The Constitution provided further guidance about federal court
jurisdiction. In addition to specifying a number of types of
cases that the federal courts would decide, such as maritime
disputes and cases involving treaties and ambassadors, it gave
federal courts jurisdiction over cases arising under the
Constitution and federal law, cases in which the United States is
a party, and disputes between states and between citizens of
different states.
Article III also provides that federal judges have life tenure
“during good behavior,” which tends to insulate judges from the
influences that could affect them if they were subject to
elections. Life tenure has been criticized for allowing judges to
remain on the bench for too long, preventing an infusion of
better attuned and more energetic younger judges.
Individual Rights
Framers James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and others argued
12. that mention of specific individual rights in the Constitution
was unnecessary because the federal government has only the
limited powers expressly given. Enumeration of certain rights
became a political necessity when Thomas Jefferson and others
insisted that fundamental rights were at risk of encroachment
unless explicitly stated. Madison eventually agreed and
introduced the first 10 amendments, known as the Bill of
Rights, in the first session of Congress.1
Fundamental religious and speech rights are stated in the First
Amendment in simple terms: “Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the
press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Some of
the difficult interpretive issues that have arisen regarding these
prohibitions are discussed in Chapter 4 of this book.
The Second and Third Amendments reflect the framers’
experience with oppressive British military occupation and
concern about expansion of federal power over the states and
individuals. The Second Amendment provides, “A well
regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be
infringed.” Although this clause refers to the militia, the courts
have interpreted it as guarantying a right of personal gun
ownership. The Third Amendment prohibits military occupation
of homes without the owner’s consent “but in a manner to be
prescribed by law,” addressing one of the abuses that had been
cited as inspiring the American Revolution.
Several amendments address rights in connection with police
actions and criminal prosecutions, as discussed in more detail in
Chapter 10 of this book. The Fourth Amendment prohibits
“unreasonable searches and seizures” and requires that warrants
for searches be issued only “upon probable cause, supported by
Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be
searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” The Fifth
Amendment requires a grand jury indictment for certain serious
13. crimes, prohibits compelling criminal defendants to testify
against themselves, and prohibits a trial of the same person
more than once for the same offense. In addition, the Fifth
Amendment contains what is known as the Due Process Clause,
broadly providing that no one may “be deprived of life, liberty,
or property, without due process of law,” which is discussed in
Chapter 3. Additional criminal prosecution provisions are in the
Sixth Amendment, which assures defendants of “a speedy and
public trial” by “an impartial jury,” as well as guarantying a
right to be informed of the accusation, to confront accusing
witnesses and call witnesses, and to have defense counsel. The
Eighth Amendment prohibits “excessive bail” and “cruel and
unusual punishments.”
The Fifth Amendment prohibits private property from being
taken for public use “without just compensation.” This clause
implicitly confirmed the power of government to take private
property but only if for “public use” and only if the owner is
paid for the value of what is taken. The courts’ notion of what
constitutes public use has evolved over time to include more
than just actual use but also uses providing a “public benefit,”
an interpretation that recently has received much public
attention and is discussed in Chapter 6.
The Seventh Amendment guaranties a jury trial for “suits at
common law,” which includes cases in which private legal
rights are determined, but not “equity cases” in which a court is
asked to grant an injunction or to decide a case based on basic
fairness.
The final two amendments of the Bill of Rights were included in
response to the concern that the list could be considered to be
exclusive and that other rights would not be protected. The
Ninth Amendment provides that the listed rights “shall not be
construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
The Tenth Amendment provides that “[t]he powers not
delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states
respectively, or to the people.” This statement made explicit the
14. idea that the federal government is limited only to the powers
granted in the Constitution.
The Constitution was amended only twice after the Bill of
Rights was ratified and before the Civil War. In 1795 the
Eleventh Amendment made clear that a state could not be sued
in the federal courts by a citizen of another state or country. In
1804 the Twelfth Amendment required voters to choose a
president and vice president rather than having the presidential
runner up become the vice president. The next three
amendments are known as the Civil War Amendments. The
Thirteenth Amendment and Fifteenth Amendment, respectively,
simply abolished slavery and prohibited the states from denying
the vote on the basis of race. The intervening Fourteenth
Amendment was more complex and proved to be laden with the
potential for considerable interpretive disagreement. In addition
to assuring individuals in previously rebellious states of the
same rights as individuals in the loyal states, the Fourteenth
Amendment provides, “No State shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of
the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any
person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
This language includes what are known as the Due Process
Clause and the Equal Protection Clause, both of which were to
be later employed by the U.S. Supreme Court in invalidating
state legislation. These clauses are discussed in the next
chapter.
In the 1900s several amendments addressed specific
fundamental rights. The vote was at last extended to women in
1920 with the Nineteenth Amendment, almost a century and a
half after the Constitution was ratified. Previously the U.S.
Supreme Court had held that the Constitution did not extend the
right of suffrage to anyone. The Twenty-Fourth Amendment,
ratified in 1964, prohibited a poll tax in a federal election. In
1971 the Twenty-Sixth Amendment mandated an 18-year-old
voting age.
15. History also has proved that amending the Constitution may not
be an effective way to alter behaviors despite apparent popular
agreement about the desirability of change. In 1920 the
Eighteenth Amendment prohibited the manufacture, sale, or
transportation of liquor. Prohibition was ineffective in
eradicating liquor consumption. Instead it resulted in a lucrative
illegal liquor market that heavily burdened law enforcement
resources and, in 1933, during the Great Depression, the
Twenty-First Amendment was ratified to repeal the Eighteenth
Amendment.
There have been a total of 27 amendments—only 17 since the
Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791. As the discussion above
shows, few of the amendments were instruments for change.
Law has shifted fundamentally over time through another
process—judicial interpretation—which is not reflected in the
constitutional text.
Who Decides What the Law Means?
Within a very short time after ratification of the Constitution
national leaders disagreed about key provisions governing the
powers of the branches of government. What does it mean for
Congress to have the power “[t]o regulate commerce … among
the several states” and “[t]o make all laws which shall be
necessary and proper for carrying into execution the”
enumerated powers, for the president to have “[t]he executive
power,” and for the U.S. Supreme Court to have “[t]he judicial
power of the United States”? The framers also left much room
for disagreement about individual rights, such as what it means
to prohibit any person from being “deprived of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law.” There is nothing in the
Constitution that says that the legislature and executive must
look to the courts as the sole interpreter of the Constitution.
Judicial Review: Marbury v. Madison
As the United States underwent its first serious shift in the
political orientation of its national leadership, a case came
before the U.S. Supreme Court to test how a challenge to a
law’s constitutionality would be addressed. As Federalist John
16. Adams was relinquishing power to Republican Thomas
Jefferson in 1801, Adams made last-minute appointments of
loyal Federalists to government posts, including William
Marbury as a justice of the peace in the District of Columbia.
Adams’ secretary of state, John Marshall, signed a commission
for Marbury before leaving office. Jefferson, looking to keep
Federalists from office during his term, directed his secretary of
state not to complete delivery of commissions. Marbury and
other appointees looked to the Court, of which the same John
Marshall was now chief justice, for a writ of mandamus to order
the president to deliver the commissions.
Marshall took up several issues that were central to the newly
established government. One basic question was this: Who
decides whether an act of Congress exceeds the powers
entrusted to that body in the Constitution?
Marbury v. Madison 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803)
Chief Justice Marshall, writing for the Court.
At the last term, on the affidavits then read and filed with the
clerk, a rule was granted in this case, requiring the Secretary of
State to show cause why a mandamus should not issue directing
him to deliver to William Marbury his commission as a justice
of the peace for the county of Washington, in the District of
Columbia.
No cause has been shown, and the present motion is for a
mandamus. The peculiar delicacy of this case, the novelty of
some of its circumstances, and the real difficulty attending the
points which occur in it require a complete exposition of the
principles on which the opinion to be given by the Court is
founded.
The first object of inquiry is,
1st. Has the applicant a right to the commission he demands?
In order to determine whether he is entitled to this commission,
it becomes necessary to inquire whether he has been appointed
to the office. For if he has been appointed, the law continues
him in office for five years, and he is entitled to the possession
of those evidences of office, which, being completed, became
17. his property.
The appointment, being the sole act of the President, must be
completely evidenced when it is shown that he has done
everything to be performed by him.
Some point of time must be taken when the power of the
Executive over an officer, not removable at his will, must cease.
That point of time must be when the constitutional power of
appointment has been exercised. And this power has been
exercised when the last act required from the person possessing
the power has been performed. This last act is the signature of
the commission.
The commission being signed, the subsequent duty of the
Secretary of State is prescribed by law, and not to be guided by
the will of the President. He is to affix the seal of the United
States to the commission, and is to record it.
It is therefore decidedly the opinion of the Court that, when a
commission has been signed by the President, the appointment
is made, and that the commission is complete when the seal of
the United States has been affixed to it by the Secretary of
State.
The discretion of the Executive is to be exercised until the
appointment has been made. But having once made the
appointment, his power over the office is terminated in all
cases, where by law the officer is not removable by him. The
right to the office is then in the person appointed, and he has
the absolute, unconditional power of accepting or rejecting it.
Mr. Marbury, then, since his commission was signed by the
President and sealed by the Secretary of State, was appointed,
and as the law creating the office gave the officer a right to
hold for five years independent of the Executive, the
appointment was not revocable, but vested in the officer legal
rights which are protected by the laws of his country.
To withhold the commission, therefore, is an act deemed by the
Court not warranted by law, but violative of a vested legal
right.
This brings us to the second inquiry: which is,
18. 2d. If he has a right, and that right has been violated, do the
laws of his country afford him a remedy?
The very essence of civil liberty certainly consists in the right
of every individual to claim the protection of the laws whenever
he receives an injury. One of the first duties of government is to
afford that protection.
The Government of the United States has been emphatically
termed a government of laws, and not of men. It will certainly
cease to deserve this high appellation if the laws furnish no
remedy for the violation of a vested legal right.
By the Constitution of the United States, the President is
invested with certain important political powers, in the exercise
of which he is to use his own discretion, and is accountable only
to his country in his political character and to his own
conscience. To aid him in the performance of these duties, he is
authorized to appoint certain officers, who act by his authority
and in conformity with his orders.
In such cases, their acts are his acts; and whatever opinion may
be entertained of the manner in which executive discretion may
be used, still there exists, and can exist, no power to control
that discretion. The subjects are political. They respect the
nation, not individual rights, and, being entrusted to the
Executive, the decision of the Executive is conclusive.
But when the Legislature proceeds to impose on that officer
other duties; when he is directed peremptorily to perform
certain acts; when the rights of individuals are dependent on the
performance of those acts; he is so far the officer of the law, is
amenable to the laws for his conduct, and cannot at his
discretion, sport away the vested rights of others.
The conclusion from this reasoning is that, where the heads of
departments are the political or confidential agents of the
Executive, merely to execute the will of the President, or rather
to act in cases in which the Executive possesses a constitutional
or legal discretion, nothing can be more perfectly clear than that
their acts are only politically examinable. But where a specific
duty is assigned by law, and individual rights depend upon the
19. performance of that duty, it seems equally clear that the
individual who considers himself injured has a right to resort to
the laws of his country for a remedy.
The question whether a right has vested or not is, in its nature,
judicial, and must be tried by the judicial authority. If, for
example, Mr. Marbury had taken the oaths of a magistrate and
proceeded to act as one, in consequence of which a suit had
been instituted against him in which his defence had depended
on his being a magistrate; the validity of his appointment must
have been determined by judicial authority.
So, if he conceives that, by virtue of his appointment, he has a
legal right either to the commission which has been made out
for him or to a copy of that commission, it is equally a question
examinable in a court, and the decision of the Court upon it
must depend on the opinion entertained of his appointment.
That question has been discussed, and the opinion is that the
latest point of time which can be taken as that at which the
appointment was complete and evidenced was when, after the
signature of the President, the seal of the United States was
affixed to the commission.
It is then the opinion of the Court: That, having this legal title
to the office, he has a consequent right to the commission, a
refusal to deliver which is a plain violation of that right, for
which the laws of his country afford him a remedy.
It remains to be inquired whether,
3d. He is entitled to the remedy for which he applies.
Blackstone, in the 3d volume of his Commentaries, page 110,
defines a mandamus to be “a command issuing in the King’s
name from the Court of King’s Bench, and directed to any
person, corporation, or inferior court of judicature within the
King’s dominions requiring them to do some particular thing
therein specified which appertains to their office and duty, and
which the Court of King’s Bench has previously determined, or
at least supposes, to be consonant to right and justice.”
This writ, if awarded, would be directed to an officer of
government, and its mandate to him would be, to use the words
20. of Blackstone, “to do a particular thing therein specified, which
appertains to his office and duty and which the Court has
previously determined or at least supposes to be consonant to
right and justice.”
These circumstances certainly concur in this case.
Still, to render the mandamus a proper remedy, the officer to
whom it is to be directed must be one to whom, on legal
principles, such writ may be directed, and the person applying
for it must be without any other specific and legal remedy.
This, then, is a plain case of a mandamus, either to deliver the
commission or a copy of it from the record, and it only remains
to be inquired … whether it can issue from this Court.
The act to establish the judicial courts of the United States
authorizes the Supreme Court “to issue writs of mandamus, in
cases warranted by the principles and usages of law, to any
courts appointed, or persons holding office, under the authority
of the United States.”
The Secretary of State, being a person, holding an office under
the authority of the United States, is precisely within the letter
of the description, and if this Court is not authorized to issue a
writ of mandamus to such an officer, it must be because the law
is unconstitutional, and therefore absolutely incapable of
conferring the authority and assigning the duties which its
words purport to confer and assign.
The Constitution vests the whole judicial power of the United
States in one Supreme Court, and such inferior courts as
Congress shall, from time to time, ordain and establish. This
power is expressly extended to all cases arising under the laws
of the United States; and consequently, in some form, may be
exercised over the present case, because the right claimed is
given by a law of the United States.
In the distribution of this power it is declared that “the Supreme
Court shall have original jurisdiction in all cases affecting
ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in
which a state shall be a party. In all other cases, the Supreme
Court shall have appellate jurisdiction.”
21. If it had been intended to leave it in the discretion of the
Legislature to apportion the judicial power between the
Supreme and inferior courts according to the will of that body,
it would certainly have been useless to have proceeded further
than to have defined the judicial power and the tribunals in
which it should be vested. The subsequent part of the section is
mere surplusage—is entirely without meaning—if such is to be
the construction. If Congress remains at liberty to give this
court appellate jurisdiction where the Constitution has declared
their jurisdiction shall be original, and original jurisdiction
where the Constitution has declared it shall be appellate, the
distribution of jurisdiction made in the Constitution, is form
without substance.
When an instrument organizing fundamentally a judicial system,
divides it into one Supreme and so many inferior courts as the
Legislature may ordain and establish; then enumerates its
powers, and proceeds so far to distribute them, as to define the
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court by declaring the cases in
which it shall take original jurisdiction, and that in others it
shall take appellate jurisdiction; the plain import of the words
seems to be, that in one class of cases, its jurisdiction is
original, and not appellate; in the other it is appellate, and not
original. If any other construction would render the clause
inoperative, that is an additional reason for rejecting such other
construction, and for adhering to the obvious meaning.
To enable this court then to issue a mandamus, it must be shown
to be an exercise of appellate jurisdiction, or to be necessary to
enable them to exercise appellate jurisdiction.
It has been stated at the bar that the appellate jurisdiction may
be exercised in a variety of forms, and that, if it be the will of
the Legislature that a mandamus should be used for that
purpose, that will must be obeyed. This is true; yet the
jurisdiction must be appellate, not original.
It is the essential criterion of appellate jurisdiction that it
revises and corrects the proceedings in a cause already
instituted, and does not create that case. Although, therefore, a
22. mandamus may be directed to courts, yet to issue such a writ to
an officer for the delivery of a paper is, in effect, the same as to
sustain an original action for that paper, and therefore seems not
to belong to appellate, but to original jurisdiction. Neither is it
necessary in such a case as this to enable the Court to exercise
its appellate jurisdiction.
The authority, therefore, given to the Supreme Court by the act
establishing the judicial courts of the United States to issue
writs of mandamus to public officers appears not to be
warranted by the Constitution, and it becomes necessary to
inquire whether a jurisdiction so conferred can be exercised.
The question whether an act repugnant to the Constitution can
become the law of the land is a question deeply interesting to
the United States, but, happily, not of an intricacy proportioned
to its interest. It seems only necessary to recognise certain
principles, supposed to have been long and well established, to
decide it.
That the people have an original right to establish for their
future government such principles as, in their opinion, shall
most conduce to their own happiness is the basis on which the
whole American fabric has been erected. The exercise of this
original right is a very great exertion; nor can it nor ought it to
be frequently repeated. The principles, therefore, so established
are deemed fundamental. And as the authority from which they
proceed, is supreme, and can seldom act, they are designed to
be permanent.
This original and supreme will organizes the government and
assigns to different departments their respective powers. It may
either stop here or establish certain limits not to be transcended
by those departments.
The Government of the United States is of the latter description.
The powers of the Legislature are defined and limited; and that
those limits may not be mistaken or forgotten, the Constitution
is written. To what purpose are powers limited, and to what
purpose is that limitation committed to writing, if these limits
may at any time be passed by those intended to be restrained?
23. The distinction between a government with limited and
unlimited powers is abolished if those limits do not confine the
persons on whom they are imposed, and if acts prohibited and
acts allowed are of equal obligation. It is a proposition too plain
to be contested that the Constitution controls any legislative act
repugnant to it, or that the Legislature may alter the
Constitution by an ordinary act.
Between these alternatives there is no middle ground. The
Constitution is either a superior, paramount law, unchangeable
by ordinary means, or it is on a level with ordinary legislative
acts, and, like other acts, is alterable when the legislature shall
please to alter it.
If the former part of the alternative be true, then a legislative
act contrary to the Constitution is not law; if the latter part be
true, then written Constitutions are absurd attempts on the part
of the people to limit a power in its own nature illimitable.
If an act of the Legislature repugnant to the Constitution is
void, does it, notwithstanding its invalidity, bind the Courts and
oblige them to give it effect? Or, in other words, though it be
not law, does it constitute a rule as operative as if it was a law?
This would be to overthrow in fact what was established in
theory, and would seem, at first view, an absurdity too gross to
be insisted on. It shall, however, receive a more attentive
consideration.
It is emphatically the province and duty of the Judicial
Department to say what the law is. Those who apply the rule to
particular cases must, of necessity, expound and interpret that
rule. If two laws conflict with each other, the Courts must
decide on the operation of each.
So, if a law be in opposition to the Constitution, if both the law
and the Constitution apply to a particular case, so that the Court
must either decide that case conformably to the law,
disregarding the Constitution, or conformably to the
Constitution, disregarding the law, the Court must determine
which of these conflicting rules governs the case. This is of the
very essence of judicial duty.
24. Those, then, who controvert the principle that the Constitution
is to be considered in court as a paramount law are reduced to
the necessity of maintaining that courts must close their eyes on
the Constitution, and see only the law.
This doctrine would subvert the very foundation of all written
Constitutions. It would declare that an act which, according to
the principles and theory of our government, is entirely void, is
yet, in practice, completely obligatory. It would declare that, if
the Legislature shall do what is expressly forbidden, such act,
notwithstanding the express prohibition, is in reality effectual.
It would be giving to the Legislature a practical and real
omnipotence with the same breath which professes to restrict
their powers within narrow limits. It is prescribing limits, and
declaring that those limits may be passed at pleasure.
Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the
United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed
to be essential to all written Constitutions, that a law repugnant
to the Constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other
departments, are bound by that instrument.
Marshall expressed a notion that has become synonymous with
the rule of law: that everyone, including the highest executive,
is subject to the enacted laws. As Marshall famously said in
Marbury v. Madison, “The Government of the United States has
been emphatically termed a government of laws, and not of
men.” He explained that in some matters a president has
political discretion but in others is as much bound by the law as
anyone else. This was not in dispute. The more difficult
question was this: Who decides when an act exceeds
constitutional authority?
Even those who think they understand the legal system may be
surprised to know that the Constitution does not say that the
judiciary interprets it, as Marshall concluded. Nor did the
leaders at the time agree that this was so. Revolutionary
intellectual Jefferson did not believe that the federal courts had
the power to declare an act of Congress to be unconstitutional.
He believed that giving judges the power to override legislative
25. acts would be “very dangerous” and tend to “place us under the
despotism of an oligarchy.”2 His view was that each branch
must decide for itself about the validity of its actions, with the
ultimate check on excess resting with change through the
election process.3 Jefferson, Madison, and others also believed
that state autonomy within the federalist arrangement would
constrain Congress from assuming powers not granted in the
Constitution. According to this view, the states were not bound
by acts of the national government that exceeded the limited
powers granted to it. Jefferson invoked this power of state
nullification in his Kentucky Resolution of 1799, which
declared void the federal alien sedition laws that among other
things allowed for the arrest of those who published “malicious”
statements about the government. Jefferson argued that the
states that ratified the Constitution had the “the unquestionable
right to judge of its infraction” and to nullify an unauthorized
act.
Jefferson could have challenged Marshall’s position that the
Court had the authority to refuse to enforce an act of Congress.
The executive, not the judiciary, had force at its disposal. But
Marshall brilliantly crafted the decision in a way that did not
call for any action by any of the other branches. He said that
although the president must honor the judicial appointments, the
Court had no power to issue a writ of mandamus, so it could do
nothing about it. Jefferson did not publicly contest the Court’s
interpretation of its powers, and over time the principle of
judicial review became a foundation of the constitutional
system. The courts do not often declare a statute to be
unconstitutional, but the assumption that they have the power to
do so stems from the analysis in Marbury.
How Is the Constitution Interpreted?
The U.S. Constitution often describes governmental powers or
individual rights only in general terms. How do judges decide
what the generalities mean? For most of the U.S. Supreme
Court’s history justices did not address this question directly.
They began to do so in the second half of the 1900s, when they
26. disagreed about their authority to invalidate statutes affecting
evolving notions of individual rights. The 1960s in particular
were a turbulent period during which judges staked out
opposing points of view. Griswold v. Connecticut is an
excellent example.
Molding the Constitution: Griswold v. Connecticut
In Griswold v. Connecticut the defendants were medical
professionals who were fined for violating a Connecticut statute
by giving advice about contraception. The U.S. Supreme Court
justices agreed that such a prohibition was a bad law, but they
disagreed about whether the Court had the constitutional
authority to strike down the Connecticut legislation. The
justices’ opinions illustrate the main differing views about
constitutional interpretation.
Griswold v. Connecticut 381 U.S. 479 (1965)
Justice Douglas, writing for the Court.
Appellant Griswold is Executive Director of the Planned
Parenthood League of Connecticut. Appellant Buxton is a
licensed physician and a professor at the Yale Medical School
who served as Medical Director for the League at its Center in
New Haven—a center open and operating from November 1 to
November 10, 1961, when appellants were arrested.
They gave information, instruction, and medical advice to
married persons as to the means of preventing conception. They
examined the wife and prescribed the best contraceptive device
or material for her use. Fees were usually charged, although
some couples were serviced free.
The statutes whose constitutionality is involved in this appeal
are 53-32 and 54-196 of the General Statutes of Connecticut.
The former provides: “Any person who uses any drug, medicinal
article or instrument for the purpose of preventing conception
shall be fined not less than fifty dollars or imprisoned not less
than sixty days nor more than one year or be both fined and
imprisoned.”
Section 54-196 provides: “Any person who assists, abets,
counsels, causes, hires or commands another to commit any
27. offense may be prosecuted and punished as if he were the
principal offender.”
The appellants were found guilty as accessories and fined $100
each, against the claim that the accessory statute as so applied
violated the Fourteenth Amendment. The Appellate Division of
the Circuit Court affirmed. The Supreme Court of Errors
affirmed that judgment.
Coming to the merits, we are met with a wide range of questions
that implicate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment. We do not sit as a super-legislature to determine
the wisdom, need, and propriety of laws that touch economic
problems, business affairs, or social conditions. This law,
however, operates directly on an intimate relation of husband
and wife and their physician’s role in one aspect of that
relation.
The right of “association,” like the right of belief, is more than
the right to attend a meeting; it includes the right to express
one’s attitudes or philosophies by membership in a group or by
affiliation with it or by other lawful means. Association in that
context is a form of expression of opinion; and while it is not
expressly included in the First Amendment its existence is
necessary in making the express guarantees fully meaningful.
The [Court’s] cases suggest that specific guarantees in the Bill
of Rights have penumbras, formed by emanations from those
guarantees that help give them life and substance. Various
guarantees create zones of privacy. The right of association
contained in the penumbra of the First Amendment is one, as we
have seen. The Third Amendment in its prohibition against the
quartering of soldiers “in any house” in time of peace without
the consent of the owner is another facet of that privacy. The
Fourth Amendment explicitly affirms the “right of the people to
be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against
unreasonable searches and seizures.” The Fifth Amendment in
its Self-Incrimination Clause enables the citizen to create a zone
of privacy which government may not force him to surrender to
his detriment. The Ninth Amendment provides: “The
28. enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be
construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
The Fourth and Fifth Amendments were described in Boyd v.
United States, 116 U.S. 616, 630 (1886), as protection against
all governmental invasions “of the sanctity of a man’s home and
the privacies of life.” We recently referred in Mapp v. Ohio,
367 U.S. 643, 656 (1961), to the Fourth Amendment as creating
a “right to privacy, no less important than any other right
carefully and particularly reserved to the people.”
We have had many controversies over these penumbral rights of
“privacy and repose.” These cases bear witness that the right of
privacy which presses for recognition here is a legitimate one.
The present case, then, concerns a relationship lying within the
zone of privacy created by several fundamental constitutional
guarantees. And it concerns a law which, in forbidding the use
of contraceptives rather than regulating their manufacture or
sale, seeks to achieve its goals by means having a maximum
destructive impact upon that relationship. Such a law cannot
stand in light of the familiar principle, so often applied by this
Court, that a “governmental purpose to control or prevent
activities constitutionally subject to state regulation may not be
achieved by means which sweep unnecessarily broadly and
thereby invade the area of protected freedoms.” NAACP v.
Alabama, 377 U.S. 288, 307 (1964). Would we allow the police
to search the sacred precincts of marital bedrooms for telltale
signs of the use of contraceptives? The very idea is repulsive to
the notions of privacy surrounding the marriage relationship.
We deal with a right of privacy older than the Bill of Rights—
older than our political parties, older than our school system.
Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse, hopefully
enduring, and intimate to the degree of being sacred. It is an
association that promotes a way of life, not causes; a harmony
in living, not political faiths; a bilateral loyalty, not commercial
or social projects. Yet it is an association for as noble a purpose
as any involved in our prior decisions.
Justice Goldberg, concurring.
29. I agree with the Court that Connecticut’s birth-control law
unconstitutionally intrudes upon the right of marital privacy,
and I join in its opinion and judgment. Although I have not
accepted the view that “due process” as used in the Fourteenth
Amendment incorporates all of the first eight Amendments … I
do agree that the concept of liberty protects those personal
rights that are fundamental, and is not confined to the specific
terms of the Bill of Rights. My conclusion that the concept of
liberty is not so restricted and that it embraces the right of
marital privacy though that right is not mentioned explicitly in
the Constitution is supported both by numerous decisions of this
Court, referred to in the Court’s opinion, and by the language
and history of the Ninth Amendment. In reaching the conclusion
that the right of marital privacy is protected, as being within the
protected penumbra of specific guarantees of the Bill of Rights,
the Court refers to the Ninth Amendment. I add these words to
emphasize the relevance of that Amendment to the Court’s
holding.
This Court, in a series of decisions, has held that the Fourteenth
Amendment absorbs and applies to the States those specifics of
the first eight amendments which express fundamental personal
rights. The language and history of the Ninth Amendment reveal
that the Framers of the Constitution believed that there are
additional fundamental rights, protected from governmental
infringement, which exist alongside those fundamental rights
specifically mentioned in the first eight constitutional
amendments.
The Ninth Amendment reads, “The enumeration in the
Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or
disparage others retained by the people.” The Amendment is
almost entirely the work of James Madison. It was introduced in
Congress by him and passed the House and Senate with little or
no debate and virtually no change in language. It was proffered
to quiet expressed fears that a bill of specifically enumerated
rights could not be sufficiently broad to cover all essential
rights and that the specific mention of certain rights would be
30. interpreted as a denial that others were protected.
The Ninth Amendment to the Constitution may be regarded by
some as a recent discovery and may be forgotten by others, but
since 1791 it has been a basic part of the Constitution which we
are sworn to uphold. To hold that a right so basic and
fundamental and so deep-rooted in our society as the right of
privacy in marriage may be infringed because that right is not
guaranteed in so many words by the first eight amendments to
the Constitution is to ignore the Ninth Amendment and to give
it no effect whatsoever.
In determining which rights are fundamental, judges are not left
at large to decide cases in light of their personal and private
notions. Rather, they must look to the “traditions and
[collective] conscience of our people” to determine whether a
principle is “so rooted [there] … as to be ranked as
fundamental.” Snyder v. Massachusetts, 291 U.S. 97, 105
(1934). The inquiry is whether a right involved “is of such a
character that it cannot be denied without violating those
‘fundamental principles of liberty and justice which lie at the
base of all our civil and political institutions.’” Powell v.
Alabama, 287 U.S. 45, 67 (1932) (quoting Hebert v. Louisiana,
272 U.S. 312, 316 (1926)).
The entire fabric of the Constitution and the purposes that
clearly underlie its specific guarantees demonstrate that the
rights to marital privacy and to marry and raise a family are of
similar order and magnitude as the fundamental rights
specifically protected.
Finally, it should be said of the Court’s holding today that it in
no way interferes with a State’s proper regulation of sexual
promiscuity or misconduct. As my Brother Harlan so well stated
in his dissenting opinion in Poe v. Ullman, 367 U.S. 497, 553
(1961):
· Adultery, homosexuality and the like are sexual intimacies
which the State forbids … but the intimacy of husband and wife
is necessarily an essential and accepted feature of the institution
of marriage, an institution which the State not only must allow,
31. but which always and in every age it has fostered and protected.
It is one thing when the State exerts its power either to forbid
extra-marital sexuality … or to say who may marry, but it is
quite another when, having acknowledged a marriage and the
intimacies inherent in it, it undertakes to regulate by means of
the criminal law the details of that intimacy.
In sum, I believe that the right of privacy in the marital relation
is fundamental and basic—a personal right “retained by the
people” within the meaning of the Ninth Amendment.
Connecticut cannot constitutionally abridge this fundamental
right, which is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment from
infringement by the States. I agree with the Court that
petitioners’ convictions must therefore be reversed.
Justice Harlan, concurring.
I fully agree with the judgment of reversal, but find myself
unable to join the Court’s opinion. The reason is that it seems to
me to evince an approach to this case very much like that taken
by my Brothers Black and Stewart in dissent, namely: The Due
Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment does not touch
this Connecticut statute unless the enactment is found to violate
some right assured by the letter or penumbra of the Bill of
Rights.
In other words, what I find implicit in the Court’s opinion is
that the “incorporation” doctrine may be used to restrict the
reach of Fourteenth Amendment Due Process. For me this is just
as unacceptable constitutional doctrine as is the use of the
“incorporation” approach to impose upon the States all the
requirements of the Bill of Rights as found in the provisions of
the first eight amendments and in the decisions of this Court
interpreting them.
In my view, the proper constitutional inquiry in this case is
whether this Connecticut statute infringes the Due Process
Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment because the enactment
violates basic values “implicit in the concept of ordered
liberty,” Palko v. Connecticut, 302 U.S. 319, 325 (1937). For
reasons stated at length in my dissenting opinion in Poe v.
32. Ullman, 367 U.S. 497 (1961), I believe that it does. While the
relevant inquiry may be aided by resort to one or more of the
provisions of the Bill of Rights, it is not dependent on them or
any of their radiations. The Due Process Clause of the
Fourteenth Amendment stands, in my opinion, on its own
bottom.
Justice White, concurring.
In my view this Connecticut law as applied to married couples
deprives them of “liberty” without due process of law, as that
concept is used in the Fourteenth Amendment. I therefore
concur in the judgment of the Court reversing these convictions
under Connecticut’s aiding and abetting statute. These decisions
affirm that there is a “realm of family life which the state
cannot enter” without substantial justification. Prince v.
Massachusetts, 321 U.S. 158, 166 (1944).
The Connecticut anti-contraceptive statute deals rather
substantially with this relationship. For it forbids all married
persons the right to use birth-control devices, regardless of
whether their use is dictated by considerations of family
planning, health, or indeed even of life itself. The anti-use
statute, together with the general aiding and abetting statute,
prohibits doctors from affording advice to married persons on
proper and effective methods of birth control. And the clear
effect of these statutes, as enforced, is to deny disadvantaged
citizens of Connecticut, those without either adequate
knowledge or resources to obtain private counseling, access to
medical assistance and up-to-date information in respect to
proper methods of birth control. In my view, a statute with these
effects bears a substantial burden of justification when attacked
under the Fourteenth Amendment.
In these circumstances one is rather hard pressed to explain how
the ban on use by married persons in any way prevents use of
such devices by persons engaging in illicit sexual relations and
thereby contributes to the State’s policy against such
relationships. Neither the state courts nor the State before the
bar of this Court has tendered such an explanation. It is purely
33. fanciful to believe that the broad proscription on use facilitates
discovery of use by persons engaging in a prohibited
relationship or for some other reason makes such use more
unlikely and thus can be supported by any sort of administrative
consideration.
I find nothing in this record justifying the sweeping scope of
this statute, with its telling effect on the freedoms of married
persons, and therefore conclude that it deprives such persons of
liberty without due process of law.
Justice Black, dissenting.
I agree with my Brother Stewart’s dissenting opinion. And like
him I do not to any extent whatever base my view that this
Connecticut law is constitutional on a belief that the law is wise
or that its policy is a good one. In order that there may be no
room at all to doubt why I vote as I do, I feel constrained to add
that the law is every bit as offensive to me as it is to my
Brethren of the majority and my Brothers Harlan, White and
Goldberg who, reciting reasons why it is offensive to them, hold
it unconstitutional.
My point is that there is no provision of the Constitution which
either expressly or impliedly vests power in this Court to sit as
a supervisory agency over acts of duly constituted legislative
bodies and set aside their laws because of the Court’s belief that
the legislative policies adopted are unreasonable, unwise,
arbitrary, capricious or irrational. The adoption of such a loose,
flexible, uncontrolled standard for holding laws
unconstitutional, if ever it is finally achieved, will amount to a
great unconstitutional shift of power to the courts which I
believe and am constrained to say will be bad for the courts and
worse for the country. Subjecting federal and state laws to such
an unrestrained and unrestrainable judicial control as to the
wisdom of legislative enactments would, I fear, jeopardize the
separation of governmental powers that the Framers set up and
at the same time threaten to take away much of the power of
States to govern themselves which the Constitution plainly
intended them to have.
34. I realize that many good and able men have eloquently spoken
and written, sometimes in rhapsodical strains, about the duty of
this Court to keep the Constitution in tune with the times. The
idea is that the Constitution must be changed from time to time
and that this Court is charged with a duty to make those
changes. For myself, I must with all deference reject that
philosophy. The Constitution makers knew the need for change
and provided for it. Amendments suggested by the people’s
elected representatives can be submitted to the people or their
selected agents for ratification. That method of change was
good for our Fathers, and being somewhat old-fashioned I must
add it is good enough for me. And so, I cannot rely on the Due
Process Clause or the Ninth Amendment or any mysterious and
uncertain natural law concept as a reason for striking down this
state law.
So far as I am concerned, Connecticut’s law as applied here is
not forbidden by any provision of the Federal Constitution as
that Constitution was written, and I would therefore affirm.
Justice Stewart, dissenting.
Since 1879 Connecticut has had on its books a law which
forbids the use of contraceptives by anyone. I think this is an
uncommonly silly law. As a practical matter, the law is
obviously unenforceable, except in the oblique context of the
present case. As a philosophical matter, I believe the use of
contraceptives in the relationship of marriage should be left to
personal and private choice, based upon each individual’s
moral, ethical, and religious beliefs. As a matter of social
policy, I think professional counsel about methods of birth
control should be available to all, so that each individual’s
choice can be meaningfully made. But we are not asked in this
case to say whether we think this law is unwise, or even asinine.
We are asked to hold that it violates the United States
Constitution. And that I cannot do.
In the course of its opinion the Court refers to no less than six
Amendments to the Constitution: the First, the Third, the
Fourth, the Fifth, the Ninth, and the Fourteenth. But the Court
35. does not say which of these Amendments, if any, it thinks is
infringed by this Connecticut law.
We are told that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment is not, as such, the “guide” in this case. With that
much I agree. There is no claim that this law, duly enacted by
the Connecticut Legislature is unconstitutionally vague. There
is no claim that the appellants were denied any of the elements
of procedural due process at their trial, so as to make their
convictions constitutionally invalid.
As to the First, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments, I can find
nothing in any of them to invalidate this Connecticut law, even
assuming that all those Amendments are fully applicable against
the States. It has not even been argued that this is a law
“respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof.” And surely, unless the solemn process of
constitutional adjudication is to descend to the level of a play
on words, there is not involved here any abridgment of “the
freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a
redress of grievances.” No soldier has been quartered in any
house. There has been no search, and no seizure. Nobody has
been compelled to be a witness against himself.
The Court also quotes the Ninth Amendment, and my Brother
Goldberg’s concurring opinion relies heavily upon it. But to say
that the Ninth Amendment has anything to do with this case is
to turn somersaults with history. The Ninth Amendment, like its
companion the Tenth, which this Court held “states but a truism
that all is retained which has not been surrendered,” United
States v. Darby, 312 U.S. 100, 124 (1941), was framed by James
Madison and adopted by the States simply to make clear that the
adoption of the Bill of Rights did not alter the plan that the
Federal Government was to be a government of express and
limited powers, and that all rights and powers not delegated to
it were retained by the people and the individual States. Until
today no member of this Court has ever suggested that the Ninth
Amendment meant anything else, and the idea that a federal
36. court could ever use the Ninth Amendment to annul a law
passed by the elected representatives of the people of the State
of Connecticut would have caused James Madison no little
wonder.
What provision of the Constitution, then, does make this state
law invalid? The Court says it is the right of privacy “created
by several fundamental constitutional guarantees.” With all
deference, I can find no such general right of privacy in the Bill
of Rights, in any other part of the Constitution, or in any case
ever before decided by this Court.
At the oral argument in this case we were told that the
Connecticut law does not “conform to current community
standards.” But it is not the function of this Court to decide
cases on the basis of community standards. If, as I should surely
hope, the law before us does not reflect the standards of the
people of Connecticut, the people of Connecticut can freely
exercise their true Ninth and Tenth Amendment rights to
persuade their elected representatives to repeal it. That is the
constitutional way to take this law off the books.
In Griswold the majority concluded that the marital relationship
was a private matter constitutionally protected against
government control. A few years later in Eisenstadt v. Baird,4
the Court built on the right of privacy and held that the Equal
Protection Clause entitled unmarried couples to the same kind
of privacy. Soon afterwards the right of privacy was invoked in
one of the most controversial opinions that the Court ever
issued. In the 1973 case of Roe v. Wade,5 a majority of the
Court held that a woman’s decision about abortion was private
during her first few months of pregnancy, with government
having power to regulate or prohibit abortions in later stages.
Griswold was a launching point for later judicial involvement in
matters previously left to the legislature, following a course of
expansive constitutional interpretation to which some judges
and scholars continue to object.
The opinions in Griswold encapsulate the two prevailing
opposing approaches to constitutional interpretation. A majority
37. of the justices saw their proper role as including protection of
rights not expressly stated in the constitutional text. The
dissenting justices disagreed, restricting themselves to the
constitutional text for protected rights and finding no authority
for the judicial discretion assumed by the majority.
Writing for the majority, Justice Douglas did not tie his
conclusion to any particular phrase in the Constitution. In his
view the expressly protected rights “have penumbras, formed by
emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and
substance,” including a “zone of privacy” into which the
government may not interfere. Within that zone, he said, is the
marriage relationship. Justice Goldberg cited the Ninth
Amendment as a source of judges’ authority to find rights not
expressly enumerated. The Ninth Amendment, which provides
that the enumerated rights “shall not be construed to deny or
disparage others retained by the people,” had previously been
considered to be merely a truism reflecting that the federal
government had no powers except as delegated by the
Constitution. Justices Harlan and White pointed to the Due
Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Harlan said that
the Due Process Clause protects “basic values ‘implicit in the
concept of ordered liberty’” including contraceptive advice.
Justice White said that the Connecticut law violated the Due
Process Clause because it affected the behavior of those who
are not appropriate targets of it. The common theme in all of
these approaches is an assumption of authority by the justices to
define what rights are protected by the Constitution.
The dissenters agreed that the prohibition against giving
contraceptive advice even to married couples was a bad law, but
they did not see the Court as having the authority to invalidate
legislation except when it conflicted with something specific in
the Constitution.
Approaches to Constitutional Interpretation
The disagreement in Griswold illustrates the contrast between
two basic notions about the judges’ proper role in interpreting
the Constitution: on the one hand originalism, variants of which
38. are called strict interpretation and textualism, and on the other
hand living constitution, sometimes called nonoriginalism.
Originalism
Originalism is reflected in the Griswold dissenting opinions. As
Justice Black explained this view, judges are not charged with
updating the Constitution. As he said, “The Constitution makers
knew the need for change and provided for it. Amendments
suggested by the people’s elected representatives can be
submitted to the people or their selected agents for ratification.”
Originalists reject the notion that judges are better suited than
legislators to plumb or respect fundamental law. U.S. Supreme
Court Justice Antonin Scalia, described by many as a leading
modern originalist but who prefers to be called a textualist,
argues that judges are not empowered to “update” the
Constitution by applying their notion of current societal values.
He says, “Quite to the contrary, the legislature would seem a
much more appropriate expositor of social values, and its
determination that a statute is compatible with the Constitution
should, as in England, prevail.”6
Originalists look to the constitutional text and context to
determine what its general terms mean. As Thomas Jefferson
instructed, when interpreting the Constitution “[o]n every
question of construction, [we] carry ourselves back to the time
when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit
manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning
may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform
to the probable one in which it was passed.”7 With an
originalist approach judges consider the evident meaning of
words, the way words were used at the time of adoption, the
context within the rest of the Constitution, and records of the
circumstances and debates surrounding adoption. Scalia
acknowledges that interpreting original intent is “a task
sometimes better suited to the historian than the lawyer.” But
originalists see this as a lesser evil than having judges apply
their own notions of what the Constitution should be.8
Living Constitution
39. Judges who are characterized as nonoriginalists argue that the
framers intended to create a broad and flexible document that
would have meaning in unforeseen circumstances. Chief Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., expressed this view in 1920, when
he said:
· [W]hen we are dealing with words that also are a constituent
act, like the Constitution of the United States, we must realize
that they have called into life a being the development of which
could not have been foreseen completely by the most gifted of
its begetters. It was enough for them to realize or to hope that
they had created an organism; it has taken a century and has
cost their successors much sweat and blood to prove that they
created a nation. The case before us must be considered in the
light of our whole experience, and not merely in that of what
was said a hundred years ago.9
The term “living constitution” can be traced to Howard Lee
McBain’s 1927 eponymously entitled book in which he
described a constitution that is “elastic, expansile, and is
constantly being renewed.”10 On what do the justices rely to
determine just how elastic the Constitution can be? Justices in
Griswold mentioned “the light of our whole experience,” “basic
values,” “traditions,” and the “conscience of our people” to
determine whether a principle is “so rooted [there] … as to be
ranked as fundamental.” But as the dissenters asked, by what
means are those sensibilities to be determined? Connecticut’s
elected assembly enacted the restrictive law in question and
rejected efforts at its repeal, and the law was upheld by a state
trial court and two state courts of appeals.11 The judges in the
majority in Griswold implicitly concluded that the Connecticut
legislative process did not reflect the “conscience of our
people,” and said that in such a case it was their duty to
invalidate the legislation.
Interpretive Balance
A judge’s approach to constitutional interpretation rarely can
simply be characterized as either entirely strict textualism or
elastic interpretation. There are many variations of
40. interpretative approaches, some of which offer guideposts for
determining the extent to which judges should feel constrained
by the text. For instance, some scholars argue that judges must
be more protective when the issue affects a minority that cannot
seek redress through the democratic process. Some judges seem
to invoke various approaches depending on the issue. For
example, some judges seem to employ an elastic interpretation
to carve out social rights but seem more restrictive when
considering property rights. Few cases require judges to choose
an interpretive approach, and judges have no obligation to
announce when they are doing so.
As with so many things involving the law, constitutional
interpretation involves a tension between formally expressed
rules and contemporary notions of basic right and wrong. The
framers left room for much later disagreement about the
meaning of the Constitution. We should not be surprised that a
willingness to stray from textual support has increased as time
has passed and conditions have continued to change. The room
left for disagreement can be seen not as a shortcoming but as
further evidence of the framers’ genius. Their composition has
allowed a gradual evolution of the law to accommodate shifts in
norms and conditions while constraining lawmakers and judges
sufficiently to prevent radical upheaval.
