One of the earliest examples of “textualism” in the interpretation of the Constitution was done by anarchist Lysander Spooner. He used it to support the abolition of slavery. To argue the unconstitutionally of slavery. It was effective in winning over people who had no moral sense of abolitionism, but wanted to feel they were being constitutional. Textualism only works when you actually understand the liberal values of a liberal document like the Constitution. Ironically though Spooner used the Constitution to fight for greater liberties, and abolition, he believed the living generation have to reason to be governed by the dead. That it’s not a social contract anyone living agreed to, and that it was a hindrance to freedom. He believed in a free society, there would be no government to coerce, that people should freely associate in a libertarian anti-capitalist society.
