Interpreting an Unamendable Text Thomas W. Merrill* 'A state without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation." -Edmund Burke' Many of the most important legal texts in the United States are highly unamendable. This applies not only to the Constitution, which has not been amended in over forty years, but also to many framework statutes, like the Administrative Procedure Act and the Sherman Antitrust Act. The problem is becoming increasingly severe, as political polarization makes amendment of these texts even more unlikely. This Article considers how interpreters should respond to highly unamendable texts. Unamendable texts have a number of pathologies, such as excluding the people and their representatives from any direct participation in legal change. They also pose an especially difficult problem for interpreters,since the interpretercannot rely on the implicit ratificationof its efforts that comes about when an enacting body reviews and does not amend the efforts of the interpreter.

  • The Stamp Act Crisis (1765)
    Click Print on your browser to print the article. Close this window to return to the ANB Online. Adams, John (19 Oct. 1735-4 July 1826), second president of the United States, diplomat, and political theorist, was born in Braintree (now Quincy), Massachusetts, the son of John Adams (1691-1760), a shoemaker, selectman, and deacon, and Susanna Boylston. He claimed as a young man to have indulged in "a constant dissipation among amusements," such as swimming, fishing, and especially shooting, and wished to be a farmer. However, his father insisted that he follow in the footsteps of his uncle Joseph Adams, attend Harvard College, and become a clergyman. John consented, applied himself to his studies, and developed a passion for learning but refused to become a minister. He felt little love for "frigid John Calvin" and the rigid moral standards expected of New England Congregationalist ministers. John Adams. After a painting by Gilbert Stuart. Adams was also ambitious to make more of a figure than could Courtesy of the Library of Congress (LC- USZ62-13002 DLC). be expected in the local pulpits. So despite the disadvantages of becoming a lawyer, "fumbling and racking amidst the rubbish of writs . pleas, ejectments" and often fomenting "more quarrels than he composes," enriching "himself at the expense of impoverishing others more honest and deserving," Adams fixed on the law as an avenue to "glory" through obtaining "the more important offices of the State." Even in his youth, Adams was aware he possessed a "vanity," which he sought to sublimate in public service: "Reputation ought to be the perpetual subject of my thoughts, and the aim of my behaviour." Adams began reading law with attorney James Putnam in Worcester immediately after graduation from Harvard College in 1755.

Already the city fea- tured macadamized roads, a canal and railroad system, and a bustling water- front replete with daily arrivals of cargo and passengers. In mid-century, it was home to meat packers, brewers, dry goods merchants, book sellers, printers and publishers, physicians, and above all, lawyers, who easily outnumbered all the other occupations. Names such as Wurlitzer, Proctor, and Gamble attested to the city’s success as a magnet for new commercial enterprise, while, increas- ingly, well-known politicians such as Salmon P. Chase affirmed its relevance as a community replete with significant discussions/meetings on national political issues such as the tariff, internal improvements, temperance, abolition, and the looming threat of civil war. By the 1870s, its population had reached more than 200,000.1 Numerous houses of worship dotted the greater Cincinnati area, and the city even boasted of a growing line of suburbs that had sprung up among the seven hills that surrounded the downtown area.2 One of these suburbs was known as Mt.

The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE ET AL. v. NEW YORK ET AL. CERTIORARI BEFORE JUDGMENT TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT No. 18–966. Argued April 23, 2019—Decided June 27, 2019 In order to apportion congressional representatives among the States, the Constitution requires an “Enumeration” of the population every 10 years, to be made “in such Manner” as Congress “shall by Law di- rect,” Art. I, §2, cl. 3; Amdt. 14, §2. In the Census Act, Congress del- egated to the Secretary of Commerce the task of conducting the de- cennial census “in such form and content as he may determine.” 13 U. S. C. §141(a). The Secretary is aided by the Census Bureau, a sta- tistical agency in the Department of Commerce. The population count is also used to allocate federal funds to the States and to draw electoral districts. The census additionally serves as a means of col- lecting demographic information used for a variety of purposes. There have been 23 decennial censuses since 1790. All but one be- tween 1820 and 2000 asked at least some of the population about their citizenship or place of birth.

  • CHIEF JUSTICE WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT EARL WARREN-T
    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL VOLUME 67 JANUARY, 1958 NUMBER 3 CHIEF JUSTICE WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT EARL WARREN-t Delivered at the Yale University ceremonies commemorating the centennial of the birth of William Howard Taft. WE commemorate a centennial. In an arbitrary sense, the passage of a hundred years, like any other unit of measure, is in itself neither important nor unimportant; its only significance derives from the transactions and changes to which it is applied. But, from the standpoint of perspective and, more especi- ally, as a review of the course of a dynamic country which, by history's reckon- ing, still is young, but which within ten decades has attained the position of foremost influence in the free world, it is a long period ponderous with impli- cation. The population has grown from less than 32,000,000 to more than 165,000,000; it has been a time of extraordinary mechanical and scientific progress; abroad, old civilizations have fallen and new societies take their place; ancient values have been tested and some have been dismissed and some revised; the world has grown smaller in every way. Considered in these terms the century, and the seventy-two years which William Howard Taft spent in it, assume stature, dimension and character. Apart from the pervasive personality, the Taft story is a review of the com- pilations of Martindale, the Ohio Blue Book, and the Official Register of the United States. Actually, it is an odyssey, the narrative of a long journey beset with detours, delays, distraction and a sometimes receding destination.
