The U.S. Constitution is called a living document because it was created with the purpose of being able to grow and change (just like a living thing) with the changing needs of the country. Through the addition of amendments, the constitution is able to adapt in ways that are needed for the nation to succeed.
For example, after the Civil War, the 13th amendment, which outlawed slavery, was passed. Roughly five years later, when former slaves and people of color were being denied the right to vote, the 15th amendment was passed to ensure protection of voting rights for people
