 * Why is it "living or breathing?" or Why is it not "living and breathing?"**

1 its a living breathing, law constantly changes because it can be improved or new law can be stated 2 in presidential campaign in 2000, Al Gore, the democratic campaign stated //"I would look for justices of the Supreme Court who understand that our Constitution is a living and breathing document, that it was intended by our founders to be interpreted in the light of the constantly evolving experience of the American people."// 3 Even the writers of the constitution stated that changes would occur over time to time for the growth of our nation. Example slavery were accepted, but after the American Civil War they wrote: //"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction"//
 * What is your proof?**

__ Script  __ Hello Mr. Williams, how’s it going? You signed the Declaration of Independence and also you signed the Constitution with the other 54 members. You know stuff from the constitution and I have an assignment about it, so can I state what it is. I know that Constitution is a system for government often written in documents. Also the document defines the three main branches of the government legislative, executive, and judicial. I believe the constitution is a living breathing document because it’s being constantly changing. Like us humans we experience things and change as we go on with our lives, same as the Constitution. The Constitution has to make changes because it can be improved or a new law can be stated afterwards. Even the constitution said that changes will occur in this nation over time to time. Example slavery were accepted before, but after the American Civil War they stated it isn't in the 13 Amendment. So Mr. Williams do you think the constitution is a living and a breathing document?
