It is the visible document's shadow, its dark matter: always there and possessing some of its key meanings and values despite its absence on the page. Moreover, some passages of the Constitution do not even hold today despite their continuing existence. Indeed some of the most contentious Constitutional debates of our time hinge on the extent to which it can admit of divergent readings.In The Invisible Constitution, Tribe argues that there is an unseen constitution--impalpable but powerful--that accompanies the parchment version. As everyone knows, the United States Constitution is a tangible, visible document. Through a variety of historical episodes and key constitutional cases, Tribe brings to life this invisible constitution, showing how it has evolved and how it works. As Tribe illustrates, some of our most cherished and widely held beliefs about constitutional rights are not part of the written document, but can only be deduced by piecing together hints and clues from it. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory
I had expeccted much more N. Perz For being a preeminent legal scholar, I had expected something more than this. Tribe seems to spend a lot more time talking about what he is going to say rather than actually saying anything. The nuggets are too few and far between.

The whole book has a very disorganized and off-the-cuff kind of feel to it. Given the number (42 I think) of short chapters, I suspect that this book is derived from in-class lectures in an undergraduate course.Not terrible but not recommended.. Robert W. Smith said excellent and informative. I've finally found it!!! The book more soporific than my dissertation!!! Let me begin my review by saying that, as more an expansionist than a textualist like his colleague from Yale Law, Tribe presents a most agreeable argument to me. Basically, it is argued that the constitution is more than just a sheet of paper with precise words written on it that should not be interpreted by the US Supreme Court, but, rather modified by the citizens. Tribe argues that, of necessity, the USSC must interpret and expand upon our constitutional understandings. He writes about what he's going to say, how it's going to be said, what. "Difficult Read" according to P. Orsay. I was very interested in the topic and love to read, but I could not drag myself beyond the first few chapters.Our book group from various professions found "Invisible Constitution" "dense" and difficult reading. Most of the group finished less than half the book. A few brave souls finished and found it enlightening. They had to re-read many sentences to grasp their meaning.Reading "Invisible Constitution" was like reading the long sentences of Julius Caesar in Difficult Read I was very interested in the topic and love to read, but I could not drag myself beyond the first few chapters.Our book group from various professions found "Invisible Constitution" "dense" and difficult reading.

Constitutional interpretation, the understanding of the role of a constitution in a nation's life, and the relationship between constitutional text and context will never be the same as they were before this powerful, inspiring, and original book was written."--Aharon Barak, Chief Justice of Israel (1995-2006)"From our country's most renowned scholar of constitutional law comes a book so breathtaking in its originality and wide-ranging in its scope that it will become an instant classic. To read The Invisible Constitution is to enter the mind of a brilliant thinker as he reflects upon many of the most important issues of the day."--Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln"This book is a kick in the shin to 'textualism' and 'originalism,' in that Tribe begins from the principle that the written, or 'visible,' Constitution so revered by conservative jurists is, in fact, only a small part of what Americans think of
