"dynamic, living Constitution, which changes as social and economic needs demanded."

I suppose that means making up the rules to fit the agenda of the day as you go along. Here is the best "correct" definition I have heard:

"The Constitution and the Bill of rights means today what they meant in 1787 and 1791"--Justice Antonin Scalea, Bass Hall, Ft. Worth, Tx, circa 2000
