The US Constitution can be called a "living document" because it enumerates the way it can be changed. Here are a few examples. Until 1865, the institution of slavery in the US was legal. There was nothing in the Constitution that said otherwise. Added to that mistake was the belief that slavery had always existed in the world, and that before the US Constitution was created, slavery existed and not enough officials or the general public had any strong objections to it ( generally speaking ). In 1865, according to its own "rules" the Constitution was amended to abolish slavery.

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.
