Are Originalists only interested in the original Constitution without the added Amendments?
Professor John McGinnis explains the importance and necessity of Amendments that improved the Constitution or corrected its faults. Regardless of whether one thinks the Amendments and their effects were good or bad, they have to be taken into account as a legitimate part of the Constitution.
Professor John O. McGinnis is the George C. Dix Professor in Constitutional Law at Northwestern University School of Law.
As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
