Everyday the constitution is used. When a person is arrested he is given Miranda rights. This comes from a Supreme Court decision utilizing the 14th amendment. If a police officer comes to your house and wants to search it he must give you a search warrant. This comes from the 4th, 5th, and 14th amendments. The ways we vote are in the constitution and how congress is elected and when. The duties of congress and the president are in the constitution. The fact that a president can only run two terms comes is in the constitution in the 22nd amendment. Who can vote is in the 15th, 19th, and 26th amendments. If you are arrested the constitution states you are to be given a "speedy trial " and to be given representation. The ability to protest is given you in the constitution or to write, say, or demonstrate against the government comes from the constitution. All of your civil rights are in the Bill of Rights. So, these are just a few examples of how the constitution is used today, but we need to pay attention to it to make sure that the constitution is followed and works for each one of us.

Why can't it be said that the Constitution is a living document?
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.
