2. One of the issues in the article discussed how the Constitution is to be interpreted. One school of thought says that we should always interpret the Constitution under the circumstances of its origin (Justice Scalia who recently passed away was an originalist). Another school of thought views it as a living and transformative document that should be interpreted based on the current times. Where do you stand? Explain substantively.
