Philip Bobbitt's seminal contribution, Constitutional Fate, first described the six fundamental forms of interpretive argument and showed how these operated to legitmate judicial review. In Constitutional Intepretation he takes up the remainder of this project: how are we to decide which
forms should govern when, in hard cases, the differing methods of interpretation yield different results? How do forms of constitutional argument that maintain legitimacy also thereby ensure justice? This classic work is a layman's primer by which a student can learn to analyze constiutional
problems from a legal point of view.
