Hi, I am interested in knowing your position about constitutional interpretation. The thing is, in Germany (an most of Continental Constitutional Systems) theory recognizes a thing called "constitutional mutation" this means that when the Constitutional Court interprets a constitutional norm, and changes the sense of it, the norm "mutates".
Naturally, there is a way to ammend the constitution, but they do not mean that, they mean that the text stays the same, only the sense changes.
Now, how can I compare this concept with American Constitutionalism? Do you think it is comparable with the judicial interpretation theories? I mean strict constructionism or the living constitution idea....just to name what I´ve read of.
What books or articles do you reccomend me?
Thank you very much.
