“Historian, author, and humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson considers four questions: What happened in Philadelphia between May and September 1787? What are the various ways in which the Constitution has been interpreted (broad versus strict construction, originalism, textualism, structuralism, pragmatism)? What problems or inadequacies have the 27 amendments attempted to address? And what principles or clauses of the Constitution are in need of clarification or reform nearly 250 years after the ‘miracle in Philadelphia’?”
