What is Wilson Law?

[Starmix]

The term Wilson Law appears in various contexts, each with a different meaning. The meaning depends heavily on the field of study or law being discussed. Some sources describe Wilson's Law as a legal principle related to statutory and constitutional interpretation. This principle emphasizes the plain meaning rule stating that clear and ambiguous language should be interpreted literally. If the language is ambiguous, the intent of the lawmaker should be considered . However, there is no widely recognized legal scholarship. The sources referencing this may be referring to a less–known principle or potentially misattributing established principles to Wilson Law.

Another version suggests the Wilson Law which states that heavily advertised items generally sell best. This is a widely observed trend in marketing, though not a formally established law.
