In The Living Constitution, constitutional law scholar David A. Strauss offers a persuasive defense of “living constitutionalism,” arguing that the U.S. Constitution must be interpreted in light of contemporary conditions rather than frozen in the framers’ original context. Through clear prose and analysis of landmark Supreme Court decisions, Strauss contends that constitutional meaning evolves through precedent and common‑law practices — enabling the Constitution to remain relevant while guarding against judicial overreach.
