UTD United States Constitution as a Living Document Discussion

0 comments

  • Constitutional scholars refer to the United States Constitution as a Living Document due to the fact that it can be changed through the addition or subtraction of amendments. The Constitution is responsible for the creation of laws, rights, and power within the country. We have our fundamental rights as human beings because of the Constitution. The future generations will be able to adapt and grow to the political culture by adding amendments that cater to their needs. Think about it: If the Constitution wasn’t able to be edited and manipulated, we wouldn’t have any of the amendments past the original twelve amendments. We wouldn’t be able to vote for senators, women wouldn’t be able to have the right to vote, and minority men and women would not be able to have a voice in their government. We should be thankful for the strong foundation that the Constitution provides for us, as well as the safety of the laws and the peace of mind about our guaranteed rights, like the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This is why the United States Constitution is referred to as a “Living Document” and it should stay that way for every other generation after us to experience.
