Why is important for the constitution to remain a living document?

If the Constitution isn't adapted to the times in which we live, then it can't be applied to many present day circumstances (such as recording industry copyright law, internet commerce issues, and many, many others). The Founding Fathers could not have anticipated the internet, for example. Thus, the Constitution must keep up with the times via Supreme Court rulings and interpretations, as well as amendments to the Constitution itself.

It is very doubtful that the framers meant for anything that came after the Constitution and Bill of Rights to change any of the basic presepts established by them.
