‘Living’ has different meaning AND different intentions for different people. It is easy today to discern those who want to abide by the Constitution and those who want to act outside the Constitution. These are related to if you believe our Nation is great by It’s uniquness or if you believe there is another form of government which is better. To me when we speak of a ‘living’ Constitution I’m reminded of a’living’ Ten Commandments. Both are timeless as written.
"That the American Constitution is long-lived, has enduring qualities, and was intended for the ages cannot be doubted. That it was founded on enduring principles, and that it was based on the authority of a people who are sovereign has been attested to by many of its leaders. That it can be changed when, and if, the people ordain such change is a part of its own provisions. For these reasons, it can be said to be a "Living Constitution" - but let that not be claimed by those who would use the language to subvert the structure."
