HEY MATE ‼️
⏩Actually a straightforward point. A constitution (a good one) is written to provide a framework of government structure and law.
⏩ However, society changes over time and some (not all) laws have to change with the times. For example, until the late 1800s there were no telephones, etc. So laws written to enforce the US Constitution's requirement that forces the government to get a warrant before searching a person's belongings didn't cover the new technology.
⏩ There's a fascinating history of the legal debates around 1900 that eventually resulted
⏩ So--the idea that a constitution is a living document means that it cant be a static thing, addressing only the issues that were relevant when it was written. A good constitution is a guideline that is flexible--and adaptable--enough to be effective in meeting the changes that occur over time as a society changes.
hope it helps you.....
