[quote=Anonymous]The purpose of the Constitution, as its name suggests, is to give life to an organism - the nation. It turns a mere collection of individuals into something more. It's not merely a calcified code of laws. If it were, the nation would die. Per PPs example of "cruelty," a calcified understanding of the word would limit the interpretation to the understanding of cruelty in the 18th century. The word means something different today, and it's ok for the interpretation to evolve organically. [/quote]
