Strict constructionism is a legal philosophy that interprets the Constitution and other legal texts narrowly, emphasizing the original meaning of the words as understood at the time they were written. Adherents believe that the government has only the powers explicitly granted to it by the Constitution, and any interpretation beyond that is seen as overreach. This approach often contrasts with broader interpretations that may consider contemporary values and societal changes. Strict constructionists argue that this method preserves the rule of law and limits governmental power.
