description One of the hermeneutic elements that are decisive in the development of legislative acts and judicial decisions is the interpretation of the Constitution, the pillar of the legal system.

This paper examines originalist and non-originalist approaches to constitutional interpretation and explores how political positions shape hermeneutic analysis, even in continental European legal systems, and specifically in the Spanish one.
