Seemingly inconsistent outcomes: Seem at odds.Ambiguity in Constitution: Sometimes seem intended by framers to provide flexible document.Lack of precision in language itself: Words have different meanings and contexts.Some values in Constitution are at odds with each other, but the literalist approach offers no guidelines for resolving the differences.
