Proponents of originalism argue that judges must adhere faithfully to the meaning of constitutional texts as those texts would have been understood at the time of their adoption. In the case of the 14th Amendment, such an approach would limit clauses like “equal protection of the laws” to nineteenth century understandings of equality.  Since women were not equal to men under the law in 1868 and since the framers of the 14th Amendment did not advance gender equality as one of its purposes, originalism poses a quandary for women’s rights in the 21stcentury.

Are Americans "losing their appetite for candid and constructive dialogue?" Robert Post, Yale Law professor, argues that we have misdiagnosed America's social malady as a free speech problem, when the challenges to free speech in America are more a symptom than a cause of the problems  we are experiencing in the public sphere. The decline in the nature and quality of our public discourse is not a problem that more free speech will not necessarily resolve.

Mexican democracy is at a crossroads. In the center stage of the current dynamic and challenging times lies the Mexican Constitution, one of the oldest and most amended in the world. Enacted in 1917, it was the product of a social revolution. During its long life, the Mexican Constitution was functional for the long period of authoritarian hegemonic-party regime, but it was also key in the protracted transition to democracy.

“Manco Cápac" ("Powerful Chief") is a minimalist film about a young internal migrant’s perseverance. Filmed in Spanish and Quechua in the southern Peruvian city of Puno, “Manco Capac” tells the story of Elisban, who arrives from the countryside with only two soles ($0.50) and a cellphone SIM card. After the job that brought him to Puno doesn't  materialize, Elisban struggles to overcome adversity in a city that is celebrating Carnival and seemingly indifferent to his plight.
