自然法理论可以解释分析实证主义法学无法解释的宪法序言,在宪法权利条款和分权条款的解释中也有用武之地。自然法理论能在宪法解释中运用的根本原因在于自然法理论和宪法的亲缘性。自然法理论和分析实证主义法学在宪法解释中不存在根本的对立。

The Natural Law theory can interpret and analyze Constitution preamble,but the Analytical-positivist Jurisprudence can't.The Natural Law theory has ample scope for its abilities to interpret the clause of constitutional rights and decentralization.The reason that the Natural Law theory can work in Constitutional Interpretation is the affinity between the Natural Law theory and the Constitution.There are no fundamental conflicts in constitutional interpretation between the Natural Law theory and the Analytical-positivist Jurisprudence.
