Fundamentalist interpretations of the Constitution elevate certain constitutional rights above all others, benefit the most powerful members of society, and undermine the integrity of the document as a whole. The conservative fetish for the Second Amendment (enforced by groups such as the NRA) provides an obvious example of constitutional fundamentalism; the liberal fetish for the First Amendment (enforced by groups such as the ACLU) is less obvious but no less influential. Economic and civil libertarianism have increasingly merged to produce a deregulatory, \"free-market\" approach to constitutional rights that achieves fullest expression in the idealization of the Internet. The worship of guns, speech, and the Internet in the name of the Constitution has blurred the boundaries between conduct and speech and between veneration and violence. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut the Constitution itself contains the antidote to fundamentalism. \u003ci\u003e The Cult of the Constitution\u003c\/i\u003e lays bare the dark, antidemocratic consequences of constitutional fundamentalism and urges readers to take the Constitution seriously, not selectively. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Anne Franks\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Law at the University of Miami School of Law and President and Legislative \u0026amp; Tech Policy Director at the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative (CCRI).
