Thank you to everyone who came to our event this week entitled “Limited Government and the Bill of Rights.” Prof. Garry and Prof. Heyman discussed their views on the bill of rights – whether it is a device to limit government or a device to protect individual autonomy – both from the founding era’s perspective and for today. One question asked how far an originalist should go if there is a plain meaning, and Prof. Garry responded that if the text is clear, the only way to change it is through the amendment process, which has been overlooked in modern times.

Our next event is Tuesday, March 31st, 12pm, in room C50 with Prof. David Moore and Prof. Mark Rosen talking about “Should the US Enforce International Law?”
