Constitutional Interpretation

Constitutional Interpretation is a PrincetonX course on edX taught by Robert P. George that examines what edX describes as the most important and vexing questions in American constitutional interpretation. According to the course page you learn the basic alternatives in approaching interpretation of the Constitution, the historical development of the power of judicial review, the question of judicial supremacy in relation to Congress and the presidency, the relations between a federal government of delegated and enumerated powers and state governments of general jurisdiction and police powers, and the role of the courts in securing freedoms of religion and speech and rights of property.

edX lists the course as self-paced, intermediate level and seven weeks at two to five hours a week, with a run scheduled through the start of 2027. It can be taken in the free audit track, which edX limits in time to the active course run; Princeton offers no certificate for its open courses, so there is no paid track.
