Constitutional interpretation - art. 132 par. (1) of the Romanian Constitution, republished

Summary/Abstract: The justification of the interpretation is the very existence of constitutionaltexts. The first functional justification is that interpretation is the condition of lawenforcement.The interpretation of the Constitution cannot be considered a purelyscientific act, it is, in the first place, a manifestation of will imposed by thecompetent authority, in this case the Constitutional Court. Interpretations that claimto be true or correct are self-conceived as acts of knowledge, the result of ascientific approach, for only a scientific act may be true or false. Will manifestationscan only be valid or invalid. However, legal interpretation in general is merely aclarification of the meaning of a legal norm in place.In this respect the Constitutional Court, in a jurisprudential momentum wesay unlimited, re-enforce legal texts repealed plays often extensive constitutionalprovisions, establishes standards and incompatibilities, empower thePresident's rule etc. All in the name of the justice to interpret theConstitution and the laws. And all, of course, under the banner of therule of law!
