Et encore moins connaissent leur signification. Rejoignez-nous alors que nous voyageons en 1814, lorsque Washington DC était sous l'attaque britannique pendant la "Seconde Guerre d'Indépendance", et que les briques et le mortier mêmes de la démocratie américaine étaient réduits en décombres fumants.

Original Intent is a judicial philosophy that the U.S. Constitution should be interpreted in the way the Founding Fathers understood it in 1789 -- an era when only white men were allowed to vote and slavery was legal. Others believe the Constitution was crafted in broad, open-ended language and that its meaning evolves over time. The film argues that the far right is using originalism as a cover to advance a radically conservative political agenda: overturning laws that protect civil rights, voting rights, affirmative action, reproductive rights, privacy, and sexual freedom. Interviewees include Robert Bork, Alan Dershowitz, Edwin Meese, Senator Alan Simpson, and leading scholars.
