To Secure These Rights: The Declaration of Independence and Constitutional Interpretation
"A delight to read. . . . Gerber states the principles of a liberal originalism far more clearly and accessibly than any other work on constitutional interpretation. . . . a rare and welcome addition."-American Political Science Review,"Highly recommended. To be commended for seeking to find a firmer guide to constitutional meanings than the personal predilections of judges."-Law and Politics Book Review,"A distinctive contribution to the debate over the `return to a jurisprudence of original intent.' Gerber's thesis is provocative and will not sit well with either liberal or conservative advocates of a `jurisprudence of original intent' or their critics."-David M. O'Brien,University of Virginia
