This article suggests that justiciability doctrines -- particularly standing doctrine -- pose a riddle. Most constitutional constraints on the power of government have a readily discernible purpose. It is difficult, however, to state the purpose of many justiciability constraints; certainly there is not general agreement on their purposes. This Article suggests that the apparent purposelessness of justiciability doctrines, as they exist today, indicates that the doctrines are fundamentally misconceived. The courts should not interpret the sparse text of Article III of the Constitution as imposing purposeless constraints on judicial power. Rather, the courts should discern such purposes as justiciability doctrines can properly serve and reconceive them in light of those purposes. In applying the justiciability doctrines, courts should be guided by the doctrines' purposes. To do this, courts must first decide what those purposes are.
