Originalism[edit]

This article on the judicial philosophy of Originalism has been expanding along with my understanding of originalism, but some outside input would be helpful.Simon Dodd 22:32, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Seems like the article could do with some more historical context, especially the development of originalism as a response to the development of more liberal methods of interpretation, specifically the idea of the living constitution. This is probably the most important context for the topic in today's discourse so it could use a deeper look. One way to address this would be to expand the "differentiated from strict constructionism" (which in any event seems to have an odd priority of place, before the different varieties of originalism are discussed) to also include comparisons to the other major forms of interpretation.
