What does a constitutional exemption achieve in legal remedies?

A constitutional exemption serves a crucial function within legal remedies by addressing situations where a specific legal provision conflicts with constitutional rights. When a court identifies that a particular section of a statute is unconstitutional, a constitutional exemption typically results in the exclusion of that invalid section from the statute. This ensures that the law, as a whole, continues to have its other provisions enforced and respected, while still recognizing the importance of constitutional principles.

This allows for a targeted remedy that does not disrupt the entire legal framework, permitting the remaining sections of the statute to operate unaffected. By excluding only the problematic provision, the integrity of the statute is preserved as much as possible, reinforcing the balance between legislative intent and constitutional protections.

In contrast, disregarding all laws or requiring all laws to be reviewed does not accurately reflect the role of constitutional exemptions, as they function more specifically to exclude problematic sections rather than dismantle legal systems or initiate blanket reviews of all legislative acts.
