By failing to distinguish between constitutional and prophylactic rules, the Court has introduced confusion into several areas of constitutional law.

The idea of prophylactic rules, as distinguished from constitutional rules, belongs in this category of concepts that deserve a second look.

This paper begins by briefly explaining the distinction between constitutional rules and prophylactic rules.

The rule, issued by the Court in recognition of the state's constitutional responsibilities, is not a constitutional rule, but a prophylactic rule--"prophylactic" since it acts as a barrier against the sort of strategic vacuum that would compromise constitutionality.

A prophylactic rule, on the other hand, because it is not itself mandated by the constitution, can be tweaked to fit changing circumstances or situations not envisioned when the rule was first devised.

Both the Supreme Court and the constitution itself benefit when the Court-confronted with a situation crying out for a revised prophylactic rule--need not claim that the constitution has changed, or that the Court misinterpreted the constitution the first time around.

There is some question as to whether the judiciary has the legitimate authority to create prophylactic rules, since this is a quasi-legislative activity rather than a purely interpretive one.

While latex rubber prophylactics reduce the probability of viral transmission, the critical issue is the degree of risk reduction.

Since 1986 condom sales have increased 60%, with a similar rise in the prophylactic use of latex gloves.

Today condoms are classified by the FDA as a Class II medical device "for contraceptive and for prophylactic purposes" (ref.

Certainly the presence of defects in latex rubber is well established; however, the origin, detailed nature and hence relevance of these flaws to the prophylactic performance of latex rubber is open to question.
