Excerpt from The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus Under the Constitution It is not the purpose of the following remarks, to treat the subject from either Of the first two points of view, nor to affirm or reject the argument of the attorney-general. The exclusive design Of the writer is to consider the right of the President to arrest and detain, of his own motion, in the required conditions, as derived from the language Of the Constitution, and from the nature of the Executive Office. There are two modes of treating this matter. One of them is the merely legal and artificial. The other is the constitutional and natural.

Excerpt from Reply to Horace Binney on the Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus Under the Constitution Lying at the foundation of all our liberties is the great Writ of freedom. It is as to the establishment of a precedent that concerns us mostly now. If the government is too weak, let us alter our Constitution and make it stronger; but let us above all things, preserve the integrity of that hal lowed instrument in all its parts but most especially in those features of it which embrace and guarantee the liberties of the people. The hope is, that the people may understand the nature and importance of the whole subject; the fear is, that they may fail to bestow sufficient care and interest upon it; for in defending this priceless Writ of liberty.

The Classical Liberal Constitution
Author: Richard A. EpsteinPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674727800
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 889
Book Description
American liberals and conservatives alike take for granted a progressive view of the Constitution that took root in the early twentieth century. Richard Epstein laments this complacency which, he believes, explains America’s current economic malaise and political gridlock. Steering clear of well-worn debates between defenders of originalism and proponents of a living Constitution, Epstein employs close textual reading, historical analysis, and political and economic theory to urge a return to the classical liberal theory of governance that animated the framers’ original text, and to the limited government this theory supports. “[An] important and learned book.” —Gary L. McDowell, Times Literary Supplement “Epstein has now produced a full-scale and full-throated defense of his unusual vision of the Constitution. This book is his magnum opus...Much of his book consists of comprehensive and exceptionally detailed accounts of how constitutional provisions ought to be understood...All of Epstein’s particular discussions are instructive, and most of them are provocative...Epstein has written a passionate, learned, and committed book.” —Cass R. Sunstein, New Republic
Keeping Faith with the Constitution
Author: Goodwin LiuPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199752834
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Chief Justice John Marshall argued that a constitution "requires that only its great outlines should be marked [and] its important objects designated." Ours is "intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently, to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs." In recent years, Marshall's great truths have been challenged by proponents of originalism and strict construction. Such legal thinkers as Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia argue that the Constitution must be construed and applied as it was when the Framers wrote it. In Keeping Faith with the Constitution, three legal authorities make the case for Marshall's vision. They describe their approach as "constitutional fidelity"--not to how the Framers would have applied the Constitution, but to the text and principles of the Constitution itself. The original understanding of the text is one source of interpretation, but not the only one; to preserve the meaning and authority of the document, to keep it vital, applications of the Constitution must be shaped by precedent, historical experience, practical consequence, and societal change. The authors range across the history of constitutional interpretation to show how this approach has been the source of our greatest advances, from Brown v. Board of Education to the New Deal, from the Miranda decision to the expansion of women's rights. They delve into the complexities of voting rights, the malapportionment of legislative districts, speech freedoms, civil liberties and the War on Terror, and the evolution of checks and balances. The Constitution's framers could never have imagined DNA, global warming, or even women's equality. Yet these and many more realities shape our lives and outlook. Our Constitution will remain vital into our changing future, the authors write, if judges remain true to this rich tradition of adaptation and fidelity.

Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
This book is the most comprehensive account of the role of habeas corpus in wartime ever written. It draws on a wealth of untapped resources to shed light on the political and legal understanding of habeas corpus that has unfolded over the course of Anglo-American history. The book traces the roots of the habeas privilege enshrined in the United States Constitution to England and then carries the story forward to document the profound influence of English law on early American law. It then takes the story forward to document the understanding of the privilege and the role of suspension over the course of American history.
