Question

1. Why did America's founders want the Constitution to be a living document?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Constitution is known as a “living” document because it can be amended, although in over 200 years there have only been 27 amendments.

The Constitution of the United States established America's national government and fundamental laws, and guaranteed certain basic rights for its citizens. Under America's first governing document, the Articles of Confederation, the national government was weak and states operated like independent countries. All told, at least 12 chief executives—over a quarter of all American presidents—enslaved people during their lifetimes. Of these, eight held enslaved people while in office. The “peculiar institution” loomed large over the first few decades of American presidential history.
