Originalism vs Living Constitutionalism

The Friends of the Jamestown Library Present:

Originalism vs Living Constitutionalism

Saturday, March 11

2:00 p.m.

Jamestown Senior Center

A talk by Christopher Parker PhD, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Pre-Law Advisor, University of Rhode Island.

Originalists argue that the meaning of the constitutional text is fixed and that it should bind constitutional actors.

Constitutionalists contend that constitutional law can and should evolve in response to changing circumstances and values.

This is sure to be a sure to be a thought-provoking program!

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is not required.
