Constitutional supremacy is the belief that the United States Constitution is superior to all three branches of government - in particular, that the Constitution is not what judges prefer it to be.[1]
The two primary tools of constitutional interpretation are the "plain meaning" rule and the "intention of the framers" rule.[1]
Constitutional supremacy is the opposite of Judicial supremacy, as judicial supremacists believe judges can remake the constitution any way they see fit.
