This book, based on the Tanner lectures on Human Values that Justice Stephen Breyer delivered at Harvard University in November 2004, defines the term “active liberty” as a sharing of the nation’s sovereign authority with its citizens. Regarding the Constitution as a guide for the application of basic American principles to a living and changing society rather than as an arsenal of rigid legal means for binding and restricting it, Justice Breyer argues that the genius of the Constitution rests not in any static meaning it might have had in a world that is dead and gone, but in the adaptability of its great principles to cope with current problems.
Giving us examples of this approach in the areas of free speech, federalism, privacy, affirmative action, statutory interpretation, and administrative law, Justice Breyer states that courts should take greater account of the Constitution’s democratic nature when they interpret constitutional and statutory texts. He also insists that the people, through participation in community life, can and must develop the experience necessary to govern their own affairs. His distinctive contribution to the federalism debate is his claim that deference to congressional power can actually promote democratic participation rather than thwart it. He argues convincingly that although Congress is not perfect, it has done a better job than either the executive or judicial branches at balancing the conflicting views of citizens across the nation, especially during times of national crisis. With a fine appreciation for complexity, Breyer reminds all Americans that Congress, rather than the courts, is the place to resolve policy disputes.
Active Liberty is a declaration of the first importance, made by a judge often regarded as one of the court’s most brilliant members.

评分布雷耶大法官提倡用注重立法目的和法律后果的方式来解释法律,以此保障公民的个人权利。一个启示:维持香港的繁荣与稳定可否是基本法的目的,是否能够成为考量双非孕妇产子等关于一系列关于居港权案件的出发点?以此为前提,综合考虑相关的法律规定和政策,将核心价值具体化,而不是仅仅纠缠于基本法的文字表述,法院仍旧能以法治的名义保持自身独立性,同时还可避免内地和香港不同法系之间的摩擦。这或许是一个值得努力的方向。
