If you'd like to read a real article on the origins of the “living constitution,” I'd recommend The Rise and The Rise of the Administrative State by Gary Lawson. It's a real eye-opener, but it's not light reading.

It begins:

“The post-New Deal administrative state is unconstitutional, and its validation by the legal system amounts to nothing less than a bloodless constitutional revolution.”

It sounds like some “tea-party wacko,” but Lawson is a professor of law at Northwestern and the article originally appeared in the Harvard Law Review.
