The Constitution was drafted because state leaders saw that the Articles of Confederation was too shaky and would not withstand the strains of time. It was to be a guiding, changeable structure of government. It was to make the government be by the people, for the people. The President was to be elected by the Electoral College (which wasn't formally codified until 1845), the Senate by the state legislatures, and the House by the People. The Supreme Court (as well as all federal courts) was to be filled by the President, and verified or denied by the Senate. This was to ensure Checks and Balances from one branch to the other. One of the ways the Constitution has existed for so long is because of its amendability.

Will changing the interpretation of the constitution make the constitution weak?

The Constitution can be changed. It is a difficult process and quite rightly so but the people can do away with the current constitution and start all over. Because it is difficult to redo a constitutional government, there are those, believing the constraints placed upon government and the freedoms acknowledged by the constitution make it impossible for government to govern. These are the people who reinterpret the Constitution in ways that allow government to expand the scope of their jurisdiction and legally disregard the natural rights of the people. It is one thing to take a liberal view of the Constitution and another thing entirely to claim the Constitution says what it does not say.
