Why is it "living or breathing?" or Why is it not "living and breathing?" 1 It's a living, breathing document because it is changing and growing as the world changes.

2 Most proponents of the Living Constitution argue that the Constitution was deliberately written to be broad and flexible to accommodate social or technological change over time. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Constitution

3 When the Founding Fathers produced this amazing standard for our nation they included the capability for amendments because in their collective wisdom they realized that as the country grew and prospered that the law would need to adapt. --http://theliberalslies.blogspot.com/2005/11/constitution-living-breathing-document.html

What is your proof? 3 Most proponents think that the Constituiton was supost to be written flexible so it can be changed.

2 An admendment means that whats writen in the constitution has changed or can be changed. So what might have been part of the constution when they signed it, might not be the same now in the 21st centery.

1 Those amendments are part of the constitution and it even says that it was perpusly made like that so it can be changed. = __0:45-1:00__ =
