Passage Summary: To keep a country stable, people need to believe laws come from a long tradition, so judges pretend their modern interpretations of the constitution are actually what the original authors intended.

Reasoning: Constitutions must be adapted to new contexts; while these adaptations reflect modern beliefs, they are framed as the original authors' intent to maintain the illusion of tradition necessary for political stability.

Analysis: For this Most Strongly Supported question, we must treat the commentator's claims as absolute facts. The stimulus sets up a conditional relationship: political stability requires an illusion of tradition, and that illusion requires the 'fiction' of original intent. Therefore, if we didn't have this fiction, we would lose the illusion, and stability would be at risk. Look for an answer that draws a connection between the subjective nature of modern interpretations and the necessity of hiding that subjectivity to preserve order.
