Constitutional Amendment Interpretation

Constitutional Amendment Interpretation is a scholarly methodology within constitutional law that specifies the principles and techniques used to ascertain the meaning and legal effect of formally enacted changes to a state constitution, distinguishing it from the interpretation of original constitutional text or statutory law by focusing exclusively on the intent, scope, and implications of constitutional amendments.
