Those who view the Constitution as a living, changeable document are typically more progressive or liberal in their political beliefs. They believe that the Constitution should evolve to address contemporary issues and societal changes, emphasizing the importance of interpretation and adaptation over strict adherence to the original text. This perspective is often held by legal scholars, activists, and advocates for social justice who argue for a more flexible understanding of constitutional rights.

Of course the statement "the constitution is a living document" is metaphorical, since no document is living, it's a piece of paper with writing on it. As a metaphor, this statement would suggest that the constitution remains relevant and connected to the society which it helped to establish in the late 18th century, which is a long time ago. If you think that the constitution has become irrelevant, then you would say that the constitution is not a living document. Personally I find it to still be relevant.
