Constitutional interpretation refers to how courts, particularly the Supreme Court, understand and apply the Constitution to specific cases. Different interpretive approaches include textualism, originalism, and living constitutional approaches. The Marbury v Madison case established that courts have the final say in constitutional interpretation.
Constitutional interpretation determines how the fundamental rules of American government are applied, affecting every aspect of law and governance.
People think constitutional interpretation is just reading the text. It involves complex analysis of history, precedent, principles, and contemporary application.
