Question

Why do some laws get re interpreted differently by later courts? Why would the Supreme court of 1900 view a law differently from the Supreme Court in 2000?

Answer 1

Answer:

Different times lead to different opinions which lead to different interpretations.

Explanation:

People's views are impacted by what experiences they have had throughout their lifetime, where they grow up in, and when in time they live. For example, the Second Amendment is The Right to Bear Arms. In 1776 or in 1900, one might interpret this as the right to own any gun one wants. But in the modern day and era, one might interpret this as only handguns or pistols, but not machine guns.
