Il ruolo delle tradizioni nella interpretazione costituzionale. Riflessioni di diritto comparato = The Role of Traditions in Constitutional Interpretation : Reflections from a Comparative Law Perspective

In recent decades, traditionalism has established itself as an autonomous methodology within the field of constitutional interpretation in the United States, where the Supreme Court has placed increasing emphasis on the role of established practices. DeGirolami distinguishes traditionalism from other hermeneutical techniques, highlighting its historical grounding and the continuity of practices. From a comparative perspective, this approach proves to be central in conflicts concerning religious freedom and processes of secularization. The article examines the use of traditions in First Amendment jurisprudence in a comparative context and their impact on constitutional identities, shedding light on the relationship between tradition and modernity in contemporary societies and the evolution of constitutional law.
