The United States Constitution is called a "living document" because some feel that it was originally designed to be modified, amended and reinterpreted throughout time in order to evolve with the changes of the society where it was implemented. It is something that has and can continue to change as society progresses.

good luck

valkas [14]

Answer: B. Neanderthals

Explanation:

Neanderthals are considered to be the species closest to modern man. These were prehistoric people from the Middle Paleolithic (Early Stone Age). Apart from Europe and Western Asia, the remains of that prehistoric man were also found in the Middle East.

For the first 50 years after the ratification of the
AlekseyPX

It is true that for the first 50 years after the ratification of the  Constitution, Representatives and Senators usually only  served for short periods of time because of difficulty in  travelling and accommodations.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the constitution was ratified, for a long period of around fifty years, the officials of the government which were the senators and the representatives used to serve the period only for a very short period of time.

The reason for this is that the travelling during that time from one place to another was very tough. Moreover the condition of the capital of the United States of America was very bad and the representatives chose to return to their local offices.

What might have happened if the National Government could only legislate based on what is specifically in the Constitution?
EastWind [94]
The amount of territory the US currently has would have been completely different if the national government could only legislate based on what is written in the constitution.

A perfect example of this is the power to purchase land/territories from other countries. This was first done by Thomas Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The US Constitution does not say that the president has the power to buy land from other countries. However, Jefferson said that this power was "implied" by the Constitution.

This idea of an implied power greatly changed the presidency/national government. Several presidents after Jefferson would follow his lead by making deals with countries for territory.

If it wasn't for this concept of implied powers, the US may not have grown to the 50 states we know it as today.
