Originalism and the Good Constitution

About Originalism and the Good Constitution

John McGinnis and Michael Rappaport argue that the text of the Constitution and its Amendments should be adhered to by the Supreme Court because it was enacted by supermajorities. A text approved by supermajorities has special value in a democracy because it has unusually wide support and tends to maximize the welfare of the greatest number.
