The United State's 1787 Constitution is a living document based on the societal values of the time. The power is rooted in the interpretation of the document's vague wording. Some of the current issues regarding the USE of the Constitution is the abandonment of the "Checks & Balances" specifically in War Making Ability.
It does not fully meet the needs of citizens as the state's
issues become more contemporary and complex. The
current constitution has been described as a "weak legislative dominating an even weaker executive. This is rooted in Texans' distrust of government and belief in individual freedom" (Collier,L. et al. Lone Star Politics).
The original constitution was meant for a time where there was slavery, and there were many dangers in domestic life. That constitution allows for guns, and counts some people as one fifth of a person. Today things have changed, and these values are no longer necessary.

Some people think that some parts of the constitution are difficult to understand because they are written in old English. Written language has evolved since the constitution was written so some of the words are not those we use today.
Some of the vagueness is because of oversight, though some of it was left that way intentionally for unforeseen circumstances. For example: In the constitution it specifically leaves parts about the army vague, because of unforeseen circumstances like the creation of the air force
