Umqulu Oluhlaza: Indlela Imibhalo Yezakhelo Efana Ngayo Nezanamhlanje

Ukwakhiwa kobuchule be-United States kusekelwe kuxwebhu looFata bayo Abasunguliweyo. Ukusukela kwiSibhengezo senkululeko ukuya kwiMaphu ye-Federalist Pepers, la maxwebhu angaphezulu kuneembali zobugcisa; asisikhuseli sotoliko lwezomGaqo-siseko waseMelika. Kubaxhasi bobuGaqo-siseko ubuGqaba , ezi ncwadi azifundisanga kodwa zinegunya njengefestile kwintsingiselo epheleleyo yomGaqo-siseko. Eli nqaku lihlolisisa indlela abaququzeleli abaqhubeka ngayo besankcaciso sakuqala, amanani angundoqo omsebenzi wabo uhlala enempembelelo kakhulu, kwaye impikiswano eshushu yangoku ngoko kuthethwa ngabaququluneli.

Isiseko SobuGqaba: Asiyontanda - bulumko Nje

Ukwenziwa komGaqo-siseko kuyindlela yokutolika efuna ukuqonda umGaqo-siseko osekelwe kwintsingiselo yawo ngexesha lokudityaniswa. Iyayichasa ingcamango yokuba umGaqo-siseko luxwebhu oluphilayo olunentsingiselo eguqukayo ngotshintsho loluntu. Endaweni yoko, iingcali zendalo ziphikisa ukuba umbhalo unentsingiselo emiselweyo ``intsingiselo yantlandlolo kawonke-----------ukuthi abagwebi banyanzelekile ukuyisebenzisa. Le ndlela ithetha ithetha kakhulu kwimibhalo yabaxhasi, kodwa hayi rhoqo ngendlela abagxeki abacinga ngayo.

Isitshixo se Misters yengcaciso yoqobo

Ukwenziwa kolwazi lwangaphambili asiyonto nje edityanisiweyo. Iquka imisonto emininzi eyahlukileyo, nganye igxininisa ngokungafaniyo kumsebenzi woMseki:

  • Engathathi ncam i-Information [[FT:1]]: Ijolise kwintsingiselo yesakhelo somGaqo-siseko ngokobuqu. Le mbono ixhomekeke kakhulu kwimiba yabucala, iingxoxo kwiNdibano yezomGaqo-siseko, kunye nentcazelo yangaphambili.
  • Inkcazo yoluvo loluntu yoqobo [: ichaza indlela umntu onengqondo anokukuqonda ngayo okubhaliweyo ngexesha lokudityaniswa. Le ndlela isebenzisa isichazi-magama, amaphephandaba, kunye nokusetyenziswa okuqhelekileyo okusemthethweni kuneengcinga zabucala zabaseki.
  • [[NTL: 0]] Iindlela zobuGcisa zoMqumrhu : IArges ezithi umGaqo-siseko umele utolike ngokusebenzisa iindlela ezisemthethweni zokutolika ezazisetyenziswa ngexesha lokubhalwa kwayo. Le mbono ijonge kwiinkcazo kutoliko lwezobucukubhede bexesha lokusekwa.

Phezu kwako nje ukwahluka kwazo, zonke izikolo zobukho bamandulo zisebenzisa iankile enye: imibhalo yesizukulwana esisunguliweyo inikela ubungqina obubalaseleyo bentsingiselo yomGaqo-siseko. Ngaphandle kwala maxwebhu, ubukho bendalo bebungayi kuba nasiseko esicacileyo.

Abaseki Bezinto Eziyintloko: ISikolo Sobungqina Bamandulo

IJaji yamva uAntonin Scalia, elona lizwi liphambili kule mihla lobuNqamzabhile, edume ngokubanzi ingqina ukuba umGaqo-siseko ngumbhalo osemthethweni, hayi ocacileyo kwezobupolitika. Intsingiselo yawo, wanyanzelisa ukuba, ifumaneke ngamazwi ngokwawo, aqondwa ngokwembali yawo. Oku kwenza ukuba imibhalo yabaqali ibe yeyona mithombo ebalulekileyo. Isebenza njengengxelo yembali ecacisa intsingiselo yantlandlolo.

Ukuthembela kwezi ncwadi asikokufundiswa nje. Kwimiba ephawulekayo, iNkundla ePhakamileyo iye yabhenela kubaseki ukucombulula iimpikiswano ezingolawulo, urhulumente, namalungelo omntu ngamnye. Le mibhalo igqalwa njengobungqina, njengembali yemithetho kumatyala asemthethweni, kodwa ngokubaluleka okungakumbi kwegunya lomGaqo-siseko.

UJames Madison: Umyili woMgaqo-siseko

Akukho mseki ukhankanywe rhoqo kwiimpikiswano zoqobo kunoJames Madison. Amanqaku akhe obulumko avela kwiNdibano yezomGaqo-siseko yowe-1787 anika eyona ngxelo ipheleleyo yengxoxo yamaFramers. Kodwa impembelelo yakhe idlulela ngaphaya kwenothi yakhe. AmaPhepha akwiFederali, ingakumbi u-FULT No. kunye noNodralist. 51, zingamaxwebhu asisiseko engcamango yokuqala.

KuFederal Federal Fest Christmas uphikisa ngelithi irepublic enkulu yeyona ikhuselayo kwingcinezelo yamahlelo. Esi sincoko sidla ngokucelwa kwiimeko malunga nobungakanani bamandla okulawula phantsi kolawulo lorhwebo lukaClaus nolufanelekileyo no-Celas. KuFederal No. 51, uMadison uchaza ingcamango yamagunya ahlukeneyo kunye nokuhlola kunye nolungelelwano, isakhiwo esisetyenziswa ngabalawuli bokuqala ukuphikisa imida engqongqo kwigunya legunya lempatho nelokugweba.

Iincwadi zikaMadison zikwanikela ulwazi ngeBhili yamaLungelo. Intetho yakhe phambi kweNdlu yabameli ngowe-1789, ichaza iinguqu ezaziya kuba yiBhili yamaLungelo, zingundoqo ekuqondeni oko kwakuqondwa njengentsingiselo yoMphetho wokuqala nowesibini. Abaseki bembali badla ngokukhankanya le ntetho ukuphikisa ukuba ilungelo lokugcina nokuphatha izixhobo liyilungelo lomntu ngamnye, kungekhona elokudibanisa inkonzo yasemkhosini.

UAlexander Hamilton: Ilizwi Lamandla Anamandla Asembindini

Ukuba uMadison ungumxhasi worhulumente owahluleleneyo, uAlexander Hamilton ungumxhasi worhulumente onamandla. Iminikelo yakhe kwiMaphepha aManyano, ingakumbi u-Federalist No. , imisela izindululo zengxoxo kuphando lomthetho. Kuloo nqaku, Hamilton ukhusela amandla eenkundla ukuvakalisa imithetho engekho sigqeba, ephikisa ukuba amandla anjalo akwimo yobume bomgaqo-siseko obhaliweyo. Abaqulumbi bezi mini baxhomekeke kwesi sincoko ukukhusela ukufaneleka kokuhlola ngokuchasene nezityholo zezomthetho.

Iincwadi zikaHamilton ezingegunya eliphezulu zinempembelelo ngokufanayo. Izincoko zakhe kwiFederalist on denational, zidityaniswe nokukhusela kwakhe iBhanki yase United States ngo1791, zicatshulwa ngabameli bomlawuli onamandla kunye nabo baphikisanayo ngomgaqo-siseko ongqongqo kwigunya lomongameli. Uluvo lukaHamilton ngomGaqo-siseko webhanki ngumzekelo odumileyo wolwakhiwo lwe-brorho-nte, oluthi lwathi lwawo lwahlula “ukwakhiwa kwegumbi elinobumba elinobunganganye” maxa benzi booqobo bahluleka“ nolwakhiwo-ondondolo-ondoqo.

UThomas Jefferson: Intanda - bulumko Yamalungelo Omntu Ngamnye

UThomas Jefferson, nangona wayeseParis ngexesha leNdibano yoMgaqo-siseko, wafaka isithunzi eside kwixesha lokusekwa. Umbhali weSibhengezo senkululeko wamisela isiseko samalungelo emvelo afaka umbhalo womGaqo-siseko. Nangona isindululo singeyonxalenye yomGaqo-siseko ngokwaso, abalandeli bezoqobo basoloko besisebenzisa ukuqonda imigaqo eyayiyilelwe uMgaqo-siseko ukukhusela.

Iileta zikaJefferson ezithetha ngenkululeko yonqulo, ingakumbi iVirginia Sigmentte for Religious Freedom, zizinto ezibalulekileyo zokutolikwa koMphetho wokuqala ka-Claus. Kwileta edumileyo yowe-1802 eya kwiDanbury Baptist Association, uJefferson wabhala “ngodonga lokwahlula phakathi kweCawa noRhulumente.” Eli binzana, nangona lingasetyenziswanga kumGaqo-siseko, liye lasetyenziswa ngabaxhasi bembali ukuphikisa ukuba uMphengululi Wokuqala weSinyuso soMgaqo-siseko weSigqibo soMgaqo-siseko weFirst Clasclecedo. Kwileta edumileyo yowe-1802222 eyayayithi yeDanbuBhaptist Baptist Association, labhala ngolwayo“ olunodongalo lwahlulayo lwahlula phakathi kweCawa noRhulumente noRhulumente.” Eli , nangona lingekho kwiSigqeqesho, nangona lisetyenziswa ngabaphambili kwiSiko loMgaqo-siseko, lisetyenziswa yimisdodalo

Noko ke, imibhalo kaJefferson ikwazisa ucelomngeni kubafundi bendalo. Inkxaso yakhe yemida engqongqo kumandla orhulumente, njengoko iboniswe kwisigqibo seKentucky yowe-1798, ikhankanyiwe ngabo bakhetha ukufundwa okumxinwa kwegunya lesizwe. Kodwa izenzo zakhe njengomongameli [1] kuquka iLouisiana Purchase, eyayingenagunya elicacileyo elisemthethweni--ukubonisa ukuba nabaseki beMimiselo babengasoloko bebambelele kwimigaqo engqongqo yendalo esetyenziswayo.

Indaleko Yengcamango Yamandulo

UbuGqaba njengengcamango esemthethweni esesikweni yeyokwenziwa ngokungqinelana nayo. Imo yayo yangoku yavela kwii1970 kunye nee 1980 njengempendulo kwiWarren kunye neBurger Courts, ezo abaninzi abakholelwa ukuba izithethe zamandulo zaligqitha igunya labo. Noko ke, iimvelaphi zobuGcisa boqobo zibuyela emva kwixesha lokusekwa kwayo. Abalawuli babeqonda ukuba babedala umgaqo-siseko obhaliweyo, kwaye babelindele ukuba utolikwa ngokwentsingiselo yawo ngexesha lokufumana umntwana.

Iintlobo Zokuqala Zobuhlanga

KwiRiphabliki yokuqala, iingxoxo ngentsingiselo yomGaqo-siseko zazidla ngokutshintsha oko babekucebise abaQaphi. Oku kubonakala kwimpikiswano yasebhankini yonyaka ka-1791, xa uMgaqo-siseko uHamilton noJefferson waphikisanayo ukuba ngaba umGaqo-siseko uyakuvumela ukudalwa kwebhanki yesizwe. Omabini abhenela kwimibhalo kunye neenjongo zeNdibano. Le ngxoxo yangaphambili yaseka indlela eyayiza kuqhubeka iinkulungwane: iimpikiswano eziphathelele intsingiselo yomGaqo-siseko zichaza oko kwakulindelwe ngabaLamlemtheli besizwe.

INkundla ePhakamileyo ngokwayo iye yabhenela kuMsunguli wenjongo ukususela ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane ye-19. Mcloch v. Maryland (1819), uMgwebi omkhulu uJohn Marshall wakhangela kwimbali yeConvention yoMgaqo-siseko ukugqiba umlinganiselo wamandla ombutho phantsi koMfaneleko noMhlengahlekiso ka-Celaus. Uluvo lukaMarshall lusekelwe kumbhalo osisiseko kubabhali bale mihla, nangona uMarshall wayesebenza njengoMphathi omkhulu emva kokuba isizukulwana siqalile sigqibile ukudlula kwesi siganeko.

Imvukelo YaseScalia

Ukutyunjwa kukaJaji Antonin Scalia kwiNkundla ePhakamileyo ngo1986 kwaphawula incopho yokutshintsha kweNkundla. UScalia akazange ayiqambe le ngcamango, kodwa wayinika ilizwi neqonga elayiguqulayo ekubeni nomdla wemfundo yaba yintanda-bulumko yezomthetho ebanzi. UScalia wazibiza “ngombhali wemibhalo” kunye“ nombhali wentlalo,” kwaye wahlula phakathi kwezi zombini ngokuthi ikhowudi yokubhala igxininisa kumbhalo wommiselo, ngoxa i-Scalia, zombini iindlela zafuna ingqalelo engqongqo kulwimi olusetyenziswayo kunye nentsingiselo yayo yembali.

UScalia unamava azele yimbekiselo kumaxwebhu oMseki. i-Diational of Columbia v. Heller (2008), uluvo lwakhe oluninzi ngeSecond Amendment luxhomekeke kakhulu kwimithombo yokusungula: izichazi magama, amanqaku ephephandaba, iingxoxo ngomGaqo-siseko, kunye neencwadi zabaQinisi ngokwabo. Uluvo lukaScalia luyiklasi yendlela yokuqala yokwahlula, ibonisa indlela uludwe olubanzi lwezinto zembali olunokusetyenziswa ngayo ukuvuselela intsingiselo yokuqala yomthetho.

IZiko lomGaqo-siseko weSizwe linika ubuncwane obubalaseleyo bokuhlola imithombo esisiseko esisiseko seengxoxo zoqobo. UmGaqo-siseko wabo osebenzayo uvumela abasebenzisi ukuba bathelekise inkcazo yoqobo kunye nembono ephilayo ye-constigation kwilungiselelo ngalinye, kunye noqhagamshelwano oluthe ngqo kumaxwebhu okusungula i-era.

Ubungqina Obutsha

Kumashumi eminyaka ukususela ekumiselweni kukaScalia, uqobo lwayo luye lwaqhubeka luguquka. “ubhalo lwakudala olutsha,” olunxulunyaniswa nabaphengululi abafana noRandy Barnett noLawrence Solum, lugxininisa intsingiselo yantlandlolo yoluntu kwinjongo yokuqala. Olu tshintsho lwayimpendulo kugxeko oluthi injongo yasekuqaleni yayiphantsi kakhulu kwaye kunzima kakhulu ukuyiqonda. Ngokubhekisa kwintsingiselo kawonke-wonke, iingcali ezintsha ziphikisa ukuba zingaziphepha iingxaki zokufikelela kwiingcinga zobukhombano zeFramers ezinde ezinde.

Le ndaleko ivule umtsalane wobuGaqo-siseko. Abanye abaphengululi nabagwebi abachasa injongo yokuqala njengengenakusetyenziswa baye bamkela intsingiselo yantlandlolo njengenjongo engaphezulu nengenakusetyenziswa njengendlela yokuyila. Ukwenziwa koqobo okutsha kugxininisa kakhulu kumbhalo womGaqo-siseko ngokwawo, kunokuba kugxininiswe kwimithombo engakumbi yemibhalo efana neFederalist Papers. Noko ke, nakwezi ndlela zininzi zokuthetha ngokusekelwe kumbhalo, imibhalo yabaseki ihlala ibalulekile ukuze baqonde umongo owabhalwa ngawo kwaye bavunywe.

Iincwadi Zomseki Enkundleni: Isicelo Sokwenyani Sehlabathi

Ukwenziwa kolwazi akuyongcamango nje yemfundo; kuchaphazela amatyala okwenene aneziphumo zokwenene. Izigqibo zeNkundla Ephakamileyo ezithi gqi zisoloko ziguqulela ekutolikeni kwemithombo yokuyila. Ukuqonda indlela ezi mithombo ezisetyenziswa ngayo kutyhila amandla kunye nemida yobuGawula-siseko njengendlela yokutolika umGaqo-siseko.

Umthetho wesiHlomelo sesibini

Owona mzekelo ubalaseleyo wobuGqaba obusebenzayo yiMimiselo yeSibini yeNkundla. [Ku- Ijikokazi leColumbia v. Heller (2008) kunye uMcDonald v. IsiXeko seChicago[[FLT]]] [2010], iNkundla yabambelela kwiNkundla yesibini ikhusela ilungelo lokuzigcina nokuthwala izixhobo zobuqu. Zombini izigqibo zaziyintsusa ngokunzulu, zixhomekeke kuhlalutyo olubanzi lwembali lokuyila imithombo.

Uluvo lweJaji Scalia lwe-Hellar i-Helmer lwahlola umthetho oqhelekileyo wamaNgesi, umgaqo-siseko wangaphambili waseMelika, kunye neencwadi zabaHlayishi. Wacaphula iingxoxo ezingokwahlulwa komGaqo-siseko, kuquka iingxelo zikaPatrick Henry noGeorge Mason, ukubonisa ukuba ilungelo lokuphatha iimpi laliqondwa njengelungelo lomntu ngamnye. Scalia wathetha nomgaqo wesi-2 wokuzinzisa umgaqo wokukhupha isiHlo, kwaye “A wawumisela kakuhle uMphicotho-mthetho, ngenxa yokhuseleko lukaRhulumente okhululekileyo".[11] Ngokuthi ithetha ukuba ithetha injongo kodwa ayiyimiselanga imiqathango yokuqalisa. Le ngxoxo yasebenzisa ukuqonda ulwimi olusemthethweni.

Abahlalutyi beHeller bathi iScalia imithombo yembali ethatyathwe njengeemvelaphi zembali kwaye abuhoyi ubungqina bokuba abaQaphi banenjongo yokuLandli beSiHlaliso sesibini ukukhusela ilungelo leqela elinxulumene nenkonzo yee-athom. Le ngxoxo ibonisa ucelomngeni olusisiseko lobuNqali: imbali isoloko idida, kwaye abaseki ngokwabo babengasoloko bevumelana ngentsingiselo yomGaqo-siseko ababewudalile.

Amandla oLawulo oluPhezulu kunye noMphathi-manyeneyo

Kwakhona abaseki bale ngxelo babalaselisa kakhulu kwiingxoxo zamandla olawulo oluphezulu. Abaqulunqi abaxhasa inqaku elinamandla, elilawulayo elingumanyano kwinqaku likaHamilton kwiMasipala, ingakumbi iFederali No. 70, ephikisayo ngo- “ukungavumelani nomphathi-mikhosi.” Bakwacaphula iViseting Clause of Article II, enika ukuba “Umandla olawulayo aza kubekwa kuMongameli waseUnited States of America.” Abaqululeki baphikisa ngelithi lo mongameli unika umgangatho opheleleyo wegunya lolawulo oluphezulu, uphantsi kuphela kwemiqathangomGaqo-siseko.

Le mbambano yayisembindini wesigqibo seNkundla Ephakamileyo Trump v. United States (2024]), apho iNkundla yayisithi abo babengabongameli banento eninzi yokuthintelwa kwizenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho. Uluvo olukhoyo lukaClarence Thomas lwathatha indlela eqinileyo yokuzichaza imvelaphi yomntu onegunya, ephikisayo ukuba abaBaseki babeza kuqonda ukukhusela kwequmrhu kwisakhiwo sobuPhondo esimiselwe ngumGaqo-siseko.

Ithala leencwadi leBhunga ligcina ingqokelela ebanzi yamaPhepha aManyano aManyano kwi-intanethi, linika ukufikelela okulula kokupheleleyo kwezincoko zonke ezingama-85. Lo mnikelo uxabiseke kakhulu nabani na ofuna ukuqonda iimpikiswano zokuqala malunga nesakhiwo sikarhulumente wezwelonke.

Inkululeko Yonqulo Nokumiselwa KukaCelas

proftists isondela kwiSindululo soMphetho wokuqala ka Claus esenzeka ngokuya sisiba nempembelelo kwisigqibo sakutshanje seNkundla. Kennedy v. Brementon School District [2022], iNkundla yathi umfundisi webhola yesibini yesikolo yasekuhlaleni wayenoMgqomo weSimemezelo sokuqala wokuthandaza phakathi kwibala emva kwemidlalo. Uluvo lukaNeil Gormoth lwalwam lwalwa uvavanyo lweLemon (a inxalenye emithathu yovavanyo olwaphuhliswayo i-1970 ukuze avavanye i-Istament Claus ithetha ukuba intelo yovavanyo lwantlalo-phambili olusekelwe kwimbali yembali kunye nokuqonda kwenkululeko yonqulo.

Uluvo lukaGorfo lwathi gqolo kwimbali yokusekwa kwexesha, kuquka iVirginia Sigment for Religious Freedom neleta kaJefferson eya kumaBhaptizi aseDanbury. Waphikisa ngelithi ekuqaleni uKwamkelwa kukaClaus kwakuqondwa ukukhusela inkululeko yonqulo kwingcinezelo karhulumente, kungekhona ukuphelisa intetho yonqulo kubomi babantu bonke. Le nkcazelo ixhomekeke ekufundweni okungqalileyo kweencwadi zabaseki, leyo igxininisa inkxalabo yabo ngesazela sabo ngabanye ngenxa yokwahlukana kweziko.

Ukugxekwa Neempikiswano: Imida Yokuyila

Ngako konke ukuphembelela kwayo, imvelaphi ijongene nokugxekwa okunamandla. Abahlalutyi bathi imibhalo yomseki ayicacanga ukuba inganikela iimpendulo ezicacileyo kwimibuzo yale mihla engokomGaqo-siseko. Bakwabonisa ukuba abaseki babeneembono ezicekisekayo kwimilinganiselo yokuziphatha yanamhlanje. Ngokukodwa ubukhoboka namalungelo amabhinqa (*) kwaye ukunamathela ngokungqongqo kwintsingiselo yantlandlolo kungavelisa iziphumo ezingekho bulungisa.

Ingxaki Yokungakholelwa Kwimbali

Enye yeengxoxo ezizingisileyo zobuGaqo-siseko kukuba akunakwenzeka ukubuyisa intsingiselo yokuqala yomGaqo-siseko ngokuqiniseka. Abaseki abavumelananga ngokomGaqo-siseko kwakuthetha ukuthini. Iingxoxo kwiNdibano yezomGaqo-siseko zazala nokulala, kwaye imibuzo emininzi ebalulekileyo yashiywa ingapheliswanga. Umzekelo, ngaba uMphathi-mikhosi kaClaus wanika iBhunga amandla okulawula ukuyila? Abaqali abazange bavumelane ngalo mbuzo, kwaye iincwadi zabo zinika inkxaso yawo omabini amacala.

Izazi ngenkcazo zamandulo ziphendula ngokuthi umbhalo womGaqo-siseko unentsingiselo engathintelekiyo, nokuba loo ntsingiselo maxa wambi kunzima ukuyifumana. Bakhomba kwiindlela zokutolika ezisemthethweni ezazisetyenziswa ngasekupheleni kwenkulungwane ye-18, ezizibonelele ngeendlela ezisunguliweyo zokucombulula amagama angaqhelekanga. Ngaphezu koko, baphikisa ngelithi ingxubiso egqwethayo yemithetho-siseko (ukuphila ngomgaqo-siseko) igweba ukunya amaxabiso ayo phantsi kokutolika, nto leyo esisisongelo esikhulu sokufumana umelo kulawulo lwedemokhrasi kunokuba kungaqinisekwanga okungokwembali ngamaxesha athile.

Ingxaki Yobukhoboka

Eyona nto iphazamisayo ngokokuziphatha kukuqala kobukhoboka yindawo yokuqala yomGaqo-siseko. UmGaqo-siseko wantlandlolo wawuneenkqubo eziliqela ezikhusela ukusekwa kobukhoboka, kuquka i-Three-Fithth Claus, i-Fugitive Slave Claus, kunye nokwalela ukuvalwa korhwebo lwamakhoboka ngaphambi konyaka ka-1888. Ukuba ukukholelwa kumthetho wokuqala kufuna ukuthembeka kwintsingiselo yantlandlolo yomGaqo-siseko, kuyabonakala ukuba kufuneka kuthandazwe nakwezi amalungiselelo.

Ezinye izazi zobukhoboka, njengoNjingalwazi Randy Barnett, ziphikisa ngelithi intsingiselo yantlandlolo yomGaqo-siseko yayichasene nobukhoboka, isalatha kwisibakala sokuba umGaqo-siseko awusebenzisi gama linye igama elithi “ubukhoboka” kwaye ukukhusela ubukhoboka kwakungumphumo wolalanisa ocetyiweyo. Abanye, njengoJaji Scalia, bavuma ukuba umGaqo-siseko wantlandlolo wawukhusela ubukhoboka kodwa waphikisa ukuba umbuzo ofanelekileyo ngomajaji wale mihla yintsingiselo yomGaqo-siseko njengowokudityalwa. I-13, 14, kunye noMgaqo-siseko we-mendulo we-15 waguqula intsingiselo yokuqala yomGaqo-siseko kwimicimbi yohlanga.

Le ngxoxo ayipheliswanga kwaye isoloko icatshulwa ngabagxeki njengobungqina bokuba ubukhobom obudala abunakunikezela ngesiseko sokuziphatha esilungelelanayo sokutolikwa komGaqo-siseko. Umzekelo, Cornell Information Institute [ inikeza izishwankathelane ezineenkcukacha zeengxoxo zeConvention, zibonisa ukuba ubukhoboka obuqiniswe ngokunzulu kangakanani na kuyilo lwakuqala lomGaqo-siseko. Abaqululi mabaxhathisane nembali ngokunyaniseka ukuba ingcamango yabo inokuba nentembelo kwimilinganiselo yokuziphatha.

Impikiswano Ngaphezu Kwendlela Yokuthetha Yantlandlolo

Kubukho boqobo, kukho impikiswano enzima phakathi kwabo bagxininisa injongo yokuqala nabo bagxininisa intsingiselo kawonke-wonke. Isikolo santlandlolo esinenjongo, esinxulunyaniswa namanani afana noRobert Bork, siphikisa ngelithi umbuzo ongundoqo ngulo mbandela ubalulekileyo unenjongo yamaFramers ukuba umGaqo-siseko ube yiyo. Isikolo sikawonke wonke, esixhaswa nguJaji Scalia kunye nomphengululi uLawrence Solum, siphikisa ukuba umbuzo ongundoqo yiyiphi le nto le nto ibiyakuba ithethwa ngumbhalo kumntu onengqondo ngexesha lokwenziwa kwamabala.

Ukuba ubani ubuza oko uJames Madison afuna ukukuthetha kuMphetho wokuqala, umntu unokuhlolisisa iiphetshana neposi zakhe zabucala. Ukuba ubani ubuza oko kwakuthethwa yiSindululo Sokuqala kuluntu ngowe - 1791, endaweni yoko umntu uya kujonga kwiinkcazelo zesichazi-magama nokusetyenziswa kwazo rhoqo. Ezi mibuzo mibini inokuvelisa iimpendulo ezahlukeneyo, ingakumbi xa iimbono zikaMadison zisuka ekuqondeni kwabantu ngokubanzi.

Inkoliso yabasunguli bale mihla ithathele kwindlela yentsingiselo yantlandlolo kawonke-wonke, ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokuba iphepha ukutyholwa ngokuxhomekeke kwiinjongo zabaseki abambalwa abaphezulu. Kodwa ke, indlela yantlandlolo yokuthetha yasekuhlaleni isaxhomekeke kakhulu kwiincwadi zabaDala (hhayi njengobungqina beengcinga zabo zabucala, kodwa njengobungqina beendlela ulwimi lomgaqo-siseko olwalusetyenziswa luze luqondwe ngayo kwixesha lokusekwa.

Isiphelo: Amandla Ahlala Ehleli Amazwi Owasungulayo

Iincwadi zooFakela Abasunguli Abasisiseko asiyomizinzo. Ziincwadi eziphilayo ezisaqhubeka zibumba ezona mpikiswano zibalulekileyo zomthetho eUnited States. Kubabhali bokuqala, le mibhalo ingundoqo ekuqondeni intsingiselo eqinisekisiweyo yomGaqo-siseko. Zinikela umongo wembali, ubungqina bemibhalo, kunye nesiseko sentanda-bulumko sokutolika esithi sithembekile kumGaqo-siseko njengoko kwakubhalwe njalo.

Kwangaxeshanye, abaqali abayoncwadi elula yokuphendula imibuzo yale mihla yomgaqo-siseko. Ziyantsonkotha, maxa wambi ziyaphikisana, kwaye zisoloko zididana. Iingxoxo phakathi kwabaseki ngokwabo, ngokubhekiselele kumgangatho wamandla karhulumente, ukukhusela amalungelo, kunye nendima efanelekileyo yejaji-/i-ddiary/inkululo yengxoxo eqhubekayo namhlanje. Ngale ndlela, abaqali abangomagunya nje amele akhankanywe; bangabathathi-nxaxheba kwingxoxo ngentsingiselo yesiseko somgaqo-siseko esaqhubeka.

For anyone seeking to understand originalism—whether as a judge, a scholar, or a citizen—the Founders’ writings are an indispensable starting point.
