    Question

    "The provisions of the Constitution are not mathematical formulas having their essence in their form; they are organic living institutions transplanted from English soil.

The above observation is made by:

    A.

    Schwartz

    B.

    Holmes, C.J.

    C.

    S.A. de Smith

    D.

    Lord Russel

    Correct option is B

    The quote reflects the realist approach to constitutional interpretation and was made by Holmes, C.J., a prominent U.S. Supreme Court judge.
