Summary
In this constitutional lesson, Shane Vaughn explains the difference between original intent and originalism, arguing that legal interpretation should focus on the historical meaning of the words actually written rather than speculation about the founders' personal thoughts. Using examples from language change, constitutional law, and election disputes, he contends that courts are obligated to follow the text of the Constitution as originally understood. Biblical references are employed only as analogies for textual interpretation. The overall message encourages confidence in constitutional processes and the rule of law rather than in political passions or public opinion.
