Computer Ethics Institute, April 29, 1993

Maarten van Swaay , Computing and Information Sciences, Kansas State University



"The root of the current debate on such issues as privacy and freedom of speech may not rest in any obsolescence of such documents as the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, but in failure to recognize the premises on which those documents stand. In the absence of agreement on the existence and nature of the underlying premises, discussion of the documents themselves may lose meaning."
