Constitutional Argument Nicholas Papaspyrou sku-734319196

Nicholas Papaspyrou's paperback Constitutional Argument and Institutional Structure in the United States is listed under Public Law Books. It distinguishes interpreting the Constitution from deciding who has authority to interpret it.

The book argues that judgments about authority divide the work of reaching applicable constitutional determinations between political branches and the judiciary; they neither establish what makes a good constitutional argument nor replace one. It treats constitutional interpretation as practical reasoning aimed at morally sound accounts of the Constitution and its surrounding practice.

Papaspyrou also examines the standard of judicial review within a scheme of institutions acting for free and equal citizens, arguing that it should help the overall interpretive task reach appropriate determinations grounded in reasons that reach all citizens and uphold freedom and equal citizenship.
