Abstract
The Bicentennial of the Jurisprudence of Original Intent, celebrated in 1996-less than one decade after the Bicentennial of the Constitution, launched a tidal wave of litigation.

An account of the bewildering events touched off by the so-called "Second Bicentennial" may be of interest to the readers of this journal, even though this account may become outdated almost immediately.
