The interpretive theory is known as contextualism, but judges or justices who are proponents of contextualism (and/or a Living Constitution) are often also accused of being judicial activists.
Courts are established to resolve legal disputes, interpret laws, and uphold justice within a society. They serve as a neutral forum where parties can present their cases, allowing for fair adjudication based on evidence and legal principles. Additionally, courts protect individual rights and ensure that the rule of law is maintained, contributing to social order and accountability.
The Constitution is called a living breathing document because the provisions enable the Court to interpret social changes in the light of the Constitution. Specific situations are not discussed in the text so that new meanings may be gleaned from old provisions.
Courts should consider the impact of social media on legal cases to ensure fair and just outcomes.

How important is the original intent of the Constitution when deciding cases? -Apex
The rights of citizens can be difficult to interpret due to their often vague and broad language, which can lead to varying interpretations in different contexts. Additionally, cultural, social, and political factors can influence how rights are understood and applied. Judicial rulings and legislative changes further complicate the landscape, as courts may interpret rights differently over time. Finally, the balance between individual rights and collective interests can create tensions that challenge clear interpretation.
