He feels that keeping all citations in the text results in better, more readable writing as he is not tempted to use footnotes to expound on irrelevant points.

Breyer is well-known for his personal writing style, in which he never uses footnotes in his opinions. Among most BMW enthusiasts, the E36 platform was among the most popular of BMW design of the past 20 years. According to Berkowitz, "The reason that 'The primarily democratic nature of the Constitution’s governmental structure has not always seemed obvious' ," as Breyer puts it, is "because it’s not true, at least in Breyer’s sense that the Constitution elevates active liberty above modern [negative] liberty." Breyer "demonstrates not fidelity to the Constitution, but rather a determination to rewrite the Constitution’s priorities," and in any eventuality, throws his "Active Liberty" theory overboard where abortion is concerned, "prefer[ing] judicial decisions that protect women’s modern liberty, which remove controversial issues from democratic discourse." In a book which never rises to answer the textualist charge that the Living Documentarian Judge is a law unto himself, Active Liberty "suggests that when necessary, instead of choosing the consequence that serves what he regards as the Constitution’s leading purpose, Breyer will determine the Constitution’s leading purpose on the basis of the consequence that he prefers to vindicate.".

The second Berlinian concept — to Berlin, "positive liberty" - is the "freedom to participate in the government;" In Breyer's terminology, this is the titular "active liberty," which he believes the Judge should champion.

BMW made an entry level version of the E36 called the 3 Series Compact, a three-door hatchback. But what is liberty? Breyer refers the reader to Isaiah Berlin’s Two Concepts of Liberty. The first Berlinian concept, being what most people understand by liberty, is "freedom from government coercion;" Berlin termed this negative liberty and warned against its dimunition. Each model is followed by its particular engine. Breyer argues that the Framers of the Constitution set out to establish a democratic government involving the maximum liberty for its citizens. . Breyer's recent book, Active Liberty: Interpreting Our Democratic Constitution, deals with his judicial philosophy at greater length, emphasizing his belief in judicial deference to democratic decision-making. E36 is considered the performance benchmark in its class.
