The Modes of Constitutional Analysis: Moral Reasoning and the National Ethos [Part 6 of 9]

This is part 6 about eight common interpretive approaches, including textualism, original meaning, and historical practices. A subsequent report focuses specifically on the use of historical practices, highlighting both its proponents and critics. We examines textualism, contrasting its strict application with more flexible interpretations, and showcasing differing judicial opinions on the matter. We aim to clarify these methods for understanding constitutional interpretation within the legislative and judicial branches.
