How many original copies of the US Constitution exist today?
Tinkergirl
There are not just 25 copies of the Declaration! However, there are only 25 known copies in existence but many were made. For instance 100 + of the broadsides were made just after the signing of the original Declaration and who knows how many other types of copies were made.

Which method of interpreting the Constitution original intent or living document do you think is more valid?
Since you are asking an opinion I will give you mine. I believe that looking at the constitution as a living document is more valid. When the constitution was written 200 years ago many things we have today didn't exist, so there is a need to be able to address the world as it is not as it was. The one thing that hasn't changed is the question about what makes good government. If we can answer this question we maybe able to create a better government for the common good.
