Additive Judgments and Major Conflicts in the Field of Constitutional Interpretation

Abstract

The consistent interpretation and weighting trials are undoubtedly two interpretative remedies of paramount importance when carrying out exercises of constitutional interpretation, which, and on the basis of the premise that the constitution as the supreme legal norm of legal systems can be applied directly to most actions and legal life of countries. However, the challenge of developing these principles of interpretation is few and often carries serious risks as to the overreach that may arise in their application. While there are risks, the Honduran Constitution contains opening clauses that add to a System of Human Rights integration as strong as the Inter-American System of Human Rights, and the United Nations Universal System through its special procedures, puts jurists in a crucial situation, since they become forced into the administration of justice , which necessarily entails an interpretive exercise of the Constitution, often on issues of high controversy for its strong political content and values.
