| Abstract | Using founding-era translations, the authors suggest an alternate approach to interpreting the US Constitution. They demonstrate how both symmetries and asymmetries in structure and vocabulary of the languages involved can help in deciding contemporary problems of constitutional interpretation. They select seven controversial passages of the US constitution to illustrate their approach. |
