I'd also like to add that the framers of the constitution explain their intentions further in the Fedaralist Papers, excerpted below:
<blockquote><i> The interpretation of the laws is the proper and peculiar province of the courts. A constitution is, in fact, and must be regarded by the judges, as a fundamental law. It therefore belongs to them to ascertain its meaning, as well as the meaning of any particular act proceeding from the legislative body.</i></blockquote>
