Sorry, I don’t subscribe to the ‘living document’ approach to the Constitution. Written words do not mean what you or I subjectively wish them to mean. As allegedly said by Lincoln, just because we call a tail a leg doesn’t make it one.
Truth is not like that, and why I made analogy to the system of currency, of money. Gold is like truth. It is self-authoritative, and it's meaning can be determined accurately by anyone, not just by some authority. That is, anyone may use the known and fixed by Nature density and chemistry of gold to determine how much of an amount of gold is had.
Yet surrender that authority of determination to a certain official person or persons, and it is a certainty of human nature that in time they will be corrupted and use that sole authority to gain favor, power and wealth to themselves.
