Constitutional Originalism

Constitutional Originalism is a theory of constitutional interpretation that maintains that the legally authoritative meaning of a written constitution is fixed at the time of its enactment and must be interpreted today according to that original public meaning rather than evolving contemporary understandings or judicially constructed values.
