"Five principles underlie this book's methodology. First and foremost is that the text of the Kentucky Constitution is the primary aid for its proper interpretation. Unlike most constitutional law textbooks that law schools have utilized over the years, in which the focus is primarily upon U.S. Supreme Court decisions to explain constitutional principles and design, this book instead uses the text of the Kentucky Constitution itself as its point of departure. If, as The Great Chief Justice, John Marshall, once famously said in another context, "we must never forget, that it is a constitution we are expounding," it is imperative that a student of the Constitution must first be familiar with the text to be explained. Because of the primacy of the text, the Kentucky Constitution is presented at the front of this book"-- Provided by publisher.
