Résumé
The article argues that the constitution is an important dimension of political capitalism. It focuses on a constitutional doctrine in force in the United States, particularly within the Supreme Court: originalism. Originalism consists in a method of interpretation based on the original meaning of the constitution. The article offers a brief presentation of originalism. It then questions to what extent it provides a safeguard against political interference in the economy. Eventually, the article argues that originalism can be considered as part of political capitalism owing to the support provided by groups of interest in favor of originalist judges appointment.
