Zusatztext "Frank Cross's important book breaks new ground. Combining a deep understanding of originalism with sophisticated empirical analysis! The Failed Promise of Originalism challenges originalists to show that their theory can make a practical difference! and at the same time dispels the myth that originalist methods have a strong ideological valence in practice.
