What is Interpreting State Constitutions about?

## Abstract Part IV surveys the range of interpretation issues that arise in state constitutional law, with a specific focus on those that arise from the unique nature of state constitutions. There are, of course, similarities to other forms of textual interpretation, particularly statutory interpretation. This part highlights the contrasts with federal constitutional law and refers to judicial opinions to illustrate various interpretation approaches, relying upon decisions that allow readers to study the specific contexts of the cases and compare them to the context with which they are currently concerned. This part reflects cases discussing interpretation techniques from the past three decades and highlights relatively recent cases, as the goal is to present current techniques. Through these more recent cases, readers can elaborate the specific technique, in a particular state, by tracing the judicial decisions on the point back through time.
