○ policy outcomes
○ changing social norms
○ personal beliefs of judges
○ the constitutions original public meaning
question 6
living constitutionalism supports the view that:
○ only text matters
○ constitutional meaning can evolve with society
○ courts must avoid evolving standards
○ judges cannot use precedent
For the first question (Originalism emphasizes):
Originalism is a constitutional interpretation theory focusing on the original public meaning of the Constitution's text when ratified. Policy outcomes, changing social norms, and judges’ personal beliefs are not core to originalism. So the correct option is about the Constitution’s original public meaning.
Living Constitutionalism holds that constitutional meaning evolves with societal changes, values, and needs. "Only text matters" and "avoid evolving standards" go against its premise, and it doesn’t prohibit precedent use. So the correct view is constitutional meaning evolving with society.
