Abstract
En este articulo se analiza el modelo de constitucionalismo que opera actualmente en Canada, Nueva Zelanda, Gran Bretana y Australia, y en especial el tipo de interpretacion juridica que permite a los jueces alterar el sentido literal de las disposiciones legales con objeto de hacerlas consistentes con los derechos protegidos. El articulo comienza con una breve descripcion de la estructura basica del modelo commonwealth como un esquema cooperativo de proteccion de derechos. A continuacion, se revisan varios ejemplos de interpretacion “constructiva” en la jurisprudencia de la Corte Suprema canadiense y de la Camara de los Lores britanica, con objeto de subrayar los limites que los jueces se autoimponen en su labor interpretativa. Por ultimo, el autor trata justificar este tipo de interpretacion mediante una concepcion sustantiva de la legalidad, en la que se incluyen los valores constitucionales que los tribunales invocan para revisar la legislacion. Palabras clave: Revision judicial, constitucionalismo, interpretacion constructiva, soberania parlamentaria, derechos de los homosexuales y matrimonio del mismo sexo. Abstract: This paper examines the model of constitutionalism that operates today in Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Australia, with particular focus on the duty of progressive interpretation that this model imposes on the judges. According to this kind of interpretation, legislation must be read and given effect in a way which is compatible with the protected rights, even if that leads beyond the literal meaning of the legal norms. The paper starts with a brief description of the basic structure of the model as a cooperative scheme of rights protection. Later, it offers an analysis of some examples of the constructive interpretation in the case law of the Canadian Supreme Court and the British House of Lords, with the aim of highlighting the self-imposed limits of judicial activism. Finally, the author attempts to find a proper justification for this kind of interpretation through a substantive conception of legality, which includes the constitutional values that judges invoke to revise the legislation. Keywords: Judicial review, constitutionalism, progressive interpretation, parliamentary sovereignty, rights of homosexuals and same-sex marriage.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
