In United States constitutional law , the Legal doctrine doctrine of constitutional avoidance dictates that a United States federal court federal court should refuse to rule on a constitutional issue if the case can be resolved on a nonconstitutional basis. When a federal court is faced with a choice of ruling on a Statute statutory , Regulation regulatory or constitutional basis, the Supreme Court of the United States Supreme Court has instructed the lower court to decide the federal constitutional issue only as a last resort The Court will not pass upon a constitutional question although properly presented by the record, if there is also present some other ground upon which the case may be disposed of. Ashwander v. Tennessee Valley Auth. , 297 U.S. 288, 347 1936 Brandeis, J., concurring . The avoidance doctrine flows from the canon of judicial self restraint, and is intertwined with the debate over the proper scope of federal judicial review and the allocation of power among the three branches of the federal government and the states.

Given the known limits of the RAF in locating targets in Germany and providing the planned resources were made available to the RAF, destroying about thirty percent of the housing stock of Germany s fifty eight largest towns was the most effective use of the aircraft of RAF Bomber Command , because it would break the spirit of the Germans.
