Ummm just to let you know what the founding fathers saw in 1700 does not necessarily mean the same thing in the year 2009. That is why they allowed the process of Amendments.
Well then we would be Europe wouldn't we?
It has EVERYTHING to do with Amendments. The founding fathers recognized that what they saw then would not necessarily be the same in later years so they ALLOWED amendments to happen in the constitution. Thus making it a LIVING DOCUMENT that could be changed and added to.
By "living document" I'm not referring to the amendment process. I'm referring precisely to what Wessexman is talking about. Interpreting and re-interpreting ad nauseum until the document becomes meaningless.
