Professor Kurt Lash explains that the Constitution represents the liberties that we the people have agreed deserve protection. There will always be debate about what liberties, or whose liberties, should be enshrined in the Constitution. That is a normal feature of the democratic process.

Professor Kurt T. Lash holds the E. Claiborne Robins Distinguished Chair in Law at the University of Richmond School of Law. He is the Founder and Director of the Richmond Program on the American Constitution.
