TODAY’S OBJECTIVES What is the Supreme Court’s role in interpreting the Constitution? What is the difference between strict interpretation and loose interpretation? How have the decisions of the Supreme Court affected your daily life?

INTERPRETING THE CONSTITUTION The Supreme Court is the highest court in the U.S. It is the job of the Supreme Court to decide what is constitutional and what is not To do so, it must interpret the meaning and intent of the Constitution itself There is much debate about how the Constitution should be interpreted Notes p. 43 Strict ConstructionLoose Construction Relies on the original text of the Constitution Bases decisions on “original intent” What the framers meant or wanted Judge Antonin Scalia “The Constitution is not a living organism… it’s a legal document and like all legal documents it says some things and doesn’t say others” Argues that modern ideas, values, and consequences must be taken into account Judge William Brennan “The ultimate question must be, what do the words of the text mean in our time?...The genius of the Constitution rests not in any static meaning it might have had in a world that is dead and gone, but in the adaptability of its great principles to cope with the current problems and current needs.”
