Faithful interpretation(as a contrast to 'revisionary reinterpretation'): An explanation of an old idea that preserves its original meaning and intent, as opposed to changing or distorting it.
Internal moral principles(in legal philosophy): Moral values or ethical standards that are built into the structure and purpose of legal rules themselves, rather than being added from the outside.
Lon Fuller(named philosopher in the statement): A 20th-century legal philosopher who argued that laws have an internal morality—meaning an unjust legal system fails to be a real legal system at all, not just an immoral one.
Ronald Dworkin(as a key figure in legal philosophy): A 20th-century legal philosopher who argued against Hart, claiming that there is usually a single 'right answer' to legal questions, even when it's hard to find.
