LIGGIO LECTURE 2015
For generations, constitutional interpretation in the United States has been subject to an ideological divide — between those who view the founding document as a living text that defers to politicians and accommodates any new legislative fashion, on one hand; and those who see it as a framework for protecting fundamental rights and individual sovereignty on the other. In this video of the third annual Liggio Lecture, presented during Atlas Network’s 2015 Liberty Forum & Freedom Dinner, constitutional scholar Randy Barnett explains how a growing legal movement of institutions and scholars is devoted to restoring the U.S. Constitution to its rightful position as the defender of individual liberty.
