Governmental change also happens through
interpreting the language of the Constitution. The Constitution does
not give an exact description of how every aspect of the government
should work. In fact, many passages of the Constitution can be interpreted
differently. When officials of the three branches of government—judges,
legislators, and the president—perform their jobs, they are
interpreting their powers and responsibilities outlined in the Constitution
as they understand them. This is referred to as judicial,
legislative or executive interpretation.
