Schroeder\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChief Justice John Marshall argued that a constitution \"requires that only its great outlines should be marked [and] its important objects designated.\" Ours is \"intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently, to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs.\" In recent years, Marshall's great truths have been challenged by proponents of originalism and strict construction. Such legal thinkers as Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia argue that the Constitution must be construed and applied as it was when the Framers wrote it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eKeeping Faith with the Constitution\u003c\/em\u003e, three legal authorities make the case for Marshall's vision. They describe their approach as \"constitutional fidelity\"--not to how the Framers would have applied the Constitution, but to the text and principles of the Constitution itself. The original understanding of the text is one source of interpretation, but not the only one; to preserve the meaning and authority of the document, to keep it vital, applications of the Constitution must be shaped by precedent, historical experience, practical consequence, and societal change. The authors range across the history of constitutional interpretation to show how this approach has been the source of our greatest advances, from \u003cem\u003eBrown v. Board of Education\u003c\/em\u003e to the New Deal, from the \u003cem\u003eMiranda\u003c\/em\u003e decision to the expansion of women's rights. They delve into the complexities of voting rights, the malapportionment of legislative districts, speech freedoms, civil liberties and the War on Terror, and the evolution\u003cbr\u003eof checks and balances. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Constitution's framers could never have imagined DNA, global warming, or even women's equality. Yet these and many more realities shape our lives and outlook. Our Constitution will remain vital into our changing future, the authors write, if judges remain true to this rich tradition of adaptation and fidelity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGoodwin Liu\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Dean and Professor of Law at University of California, Berkeley. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePamela S.
