Abstract
The question that I will deal with here is whether the interpretation of the constitution in
a multicultural society has special characteristics. Put another way, the issue is whether
being in a multicultural society is relevant when it comes to interpreting the
Constitution.
This is a question conditioned not only by the importance that may be given to
cultural pluralism but also by three problems. First, there is the concept of
interpretation, second, the concept of the constitution and third, the position taken as
regards the specificity or not of constitutional interpretation as opposed to legal
interpretation in general.
