How was our country able to create a constitution that functions even though times change?
Our creators of the constitution were very smart and knew that things would change in the future so they built in a method of change into the constitution. This process is the amendments to add, change, or correct problems in the constitution. Added to this is the Supreme Court who uses the constitution to decide cases and to add to law or change law. For instance, the 4th amendment doesn't specify what " search and seizure " is, so court cases before the Supreme Court have been used to define what it is and how states are to use it to prove guilt.

What is the contribution of hamurabi law for the recent law?
The Hamurabi Law is the first codified law in history. This was good because the people know the law and the ruler cannot change the law based on a whim. Therefore, the power of the ruler was limited to what is written and if he wanted to change it, it would have taken time. Today, the law is based on the constitution of a country. It is hard to change it, and laws cannot disagree with what is written in the constitution unless it is changed.
Why are court cases similar to the amendments of the Constitution?
They aren't. They aren't even close to being the same thing. The Constitution is the law and amendments change that law. Court cases are the interpretation of that law. However, the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution and their ruling is taken as the correct one. Given that the rulings can change over time, they can create the idea that they are changing the law, but they are basing the changes on society's reaction to various things. Roe v. Wade is not an amendment and isn't a change to the Constitution, only the way in which it is to be interpreted.
