El presente artículo se relaciona con la interpretación de la Constitución, particularmente de lo que algunos teóricos han denominado el “originalismo”. De esta forma, serán objeto de estudio tanto el contexto histórico en que este movimiento surgió, como los factores que lo propiciaron. En el desarrollo de esta labor, se advertirá que existen distintas formas de entender lo que el originalismo significa, y que no necesariamente todos los partidarios de esta corriente entienden la interpretación jurídica de la misma forma. Finalmente, se hará referencia a las principales críticas que ha recibido, sobre todo de aquellos que consideran que la Constitución debe ser entendida como un instrumento vivo, que debe adecuarse a las necesidades de cada sociedad.
