Summary
Constitutions that provide the framework of laws for a nation must be interpreted to apply to new situations that the authors did not envision. These interpretations are portrayed as embodying the intentions of the original authors even though they represent the moral and political beliefs of the interpreters. This portrayal is necessary for political stability. Without the portrayal, laws that exist because of tradition, rather than the wishes of modern politicians, would vanish
Strongly Supported Conclusions
Interpreting a constitution to apply to new situations not envisioned by the framers is vital to political stability and the preservation of laws that exist due to tradition. Some interpretive fictions are vital. If people don’t think the constitution is being interpreted based on the intentions of its authors, political instability will increase.
