Gary Schmitt: Constitutional Interpretation's Relevance to Modern America
The U.S. Constitution, a living document that has guided American democracy for over two centuries, continues to be a subject of intense debate and interpretation. As society evolves and faces new challenges, the role of the Constitution in shaping policy and protecting rights becomes increasingly complex. While legal experts play a crucial role in constitutional interpretation, there is a growing concern that ordinary citizens are becoming disconnected from the fundamental principles that underpin their government. Gary Schmitt from American Enterprise Institute helps answer how this disconnect raises important questions about the nature of constitutional democracy and the responsibilities of an informed citizen.
