What's the correct way to interpret the Constitution and why?

Do you read it, like any other historical text, and attempt to discern what the words on the paper meant at the time? or do you read it like a child making up what the words mean to suit your personal taste as you go along?

Really assesses your asparagus doesn't it?

I mean, I totally agree with your pov but why start a thread with such a loaded question? It would've been less faggoty if you just posted your opinion in a less passive agressive way.

damn.... really makes me think..... i guess all those latin texts (corpus juris civilis) and latin legal phrases (mens rea, compos mentis, per legem terrae, ab initio, in pari delicto, fiat justitia ruat caelum) are undecipherable

it reveals that israel is the eternal ally of the US and that americans must aid gods chosen at all times or there will be dire consequences

But OP, the constitution was expressly written so as to legally allow and expressly provide an avenue whereby future generations might just make it up as they went along. And these real subsequent changes have obviated much of the language of the original document, which obviation the original document expressly invited and made possible.

Originalism: BTFO, once and for all.

Whichever way the majority of the nation agrees on.

That's utter nonsense. The amendment process exists but was purposely created to only be used with an overwhelming consensus, not for a judge to legislate as they please, much to the chagrin of half of the country. The mileage that scumbag lawyers and judges have gotten out of the commerce clause is disgusting desu.

Nice trips
>expressly written 2 legally allow/expressly provide avenue 2 just make up

I'm curious for a citation of such very express legal method of not only altering but fabricating the meaning of the constitution

It's not just a "historical text." It's a set of laws. What was intended and what it actually says are not the same thing. And like all laws it requires interpretation to apply to novel circumstances.
