Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into the paradox of privacy rights in American constitutional law, highlighting how this right, absent during the ratification debates, has evolved into a fundamental aspect of freedom. Heffernan addresses originalist critiques, examines the framework of privacy claims, and proposes strategies for safeguarding privacy from government overreach. Through this analysis, the author underscores the significance of modern interpretations of the Constitution in shaping privacy rights today.
