Active Liberty: Interpreting Our Democratic Constitution is a 2005 book by United States Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.[1] The general theme of the book is that Supreme Court justices should, when dealing with Constitutional issues, keep "active liberty" in mind,[1] which Justice Breyer defines as the right of the citizenry of the country to participate in government. Breyer's thesis is commonly viewed as a liberal response to originalism, a view espoused by Justice Scalia.[2]
