(I think the entire thing about intent is sort of interesting not least because both sides of the argument claim that they're trying to serve the intent of the original lawmakers. Which is, again, where I think it all gets a bit theological, but as I have presumably made obvious my bias is very much toward interpreting intent in modern contexts, which I think is what you're doing with respect to (b).)
