How do judges interpret the Constitution in different ways?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Indicate that some judges believe that courts should interpret the Constitution as the Framers wrote and originally intended it; the Constitution can be understood only by reference to its historical record.
2, Recall that other judges think of the Constitution as a document that changes over time; for these judges, the Constitution has no fixed or final meaning.
3, Explain that other judges prefer to concentrate on a literal reading of the Constitution's text; they focus on the actual words of the Constitution and what implications they have for the dispute at hand.
