What does the us constitution considered to be a living document mean?
It is not! It a document that was created over 200 years a go by the founding fathers, that was the guide to the laws in this land
Who was the only one of your founding fathers who never owned slaves?
John Adams, his second cousin Samuel Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Paine were the only men who are traditionally known as founding fathers who did not own slaves. Benjamin Franklin was indeed a founder of the Abolitionist Society, but he owned two slaves, named King and George. Franklin's newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette routinely ran ads for sale or purchase of slaves. Patrick Henry is another founding father who owned slaves, although his speeches would make one think otherwise. Despite his "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech, he had up to 70 slaves at a time, apologizing a few times along the way, saying he knew it was wrong, that he was accountable to his God, and citing the "general inconvenience of living without them."
Which process did the Founding Fathers implement to allow changes to be made to the US Constitution?

Why did George Washington get his face on the dollar?
Well, it was against the law to have a living person's face on any currency in the United States, just a little fun fact. Because he was a great leader and one of the country's four founding fathers. He led the army in the American Revolution, and he was the U.S.A's very first president. That is why he is and deserves to be on the U.S dollar bill. Or Dolla bill, since I'm a New Englanda
Why was the First Amendment important for the Founding Fathers?
Christine,What they meant by that term was, quite literally, the freedom to speak, to stand up, in public, and express your ideas orally so that others could hear them. They did not mean artworks, or striptease dances or any of the other things that modern courts have read into that simple phrase.Michael MontagneAnswerI would add to the previous answer that the founding father's had (legally) been prevented from speaking out against the King and his rulings. The freedom of speech concept, I believe, was specifically developed to protect speech and ideas which were critical of the government and its policies. In other words, it protected the right of the war protesters during the Vietnam era to publicly oppose the war. I agree that the freedom of speech amendment was not designed to protect pornographers. It is a protection of political rights not a protection of smut. AnswerYou are both missing one very important point. Offensive expression is exactly what needs protecting! It is the only speech that needs protection. No one is complaining about non-offensive speech. If you are going to allow censorship of any form then you have to give the government the ability to decide what they feel is offensive. How easy is that power abused? This abuse by the government is exactly what the founding fathers want to prevent by freedom of speech. How long before some forms of religious or political speech would becomed offensive and censored? You also have to realize that by living in a free society you are going to be exposed to things and people that may be offensive to you. The point is that everyone has different ideas about what is offensive. Do you honestly want to give someone else the power to decide what is acceptible for you? If you don't like something then don't listen to it or buy it - don't tell me what I can or cannot do. I thought 1984 had come and gone and we were lucky enough to have avoided having Big Brother control us. AnswerDid the founding fathers also believe that freedom of speech should protect discourse that emboldens enemies of the state during times of war? Answeri think that the founding fathers never intended people to abuse their right to express them selves. Answeri think that the founding fathers intended the words freedom of speech to be exactly what they mean but not for people to abuse the way they use that freedom becuase over time people began to use foul language that even children today are using people in america have the right to say what they want no matter what it is.
Which Mormon prophet saw the founding fathers in a vision?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that the founding fathers of America appeared to the prophet Wilford Woodruff in a vision and requested that they be baptized posthumously into the Church. Check out the "Related Links" below to see an artists depiction of these event. ------------------------------------ Another Answer: None of them. Dead people do not appear to the living, and a large majority of the founding fathers were already dead by the time the mormon church was founded.

Do the founding fathers of the constitution deserve the reverence Americans have traditionally given them why?
The founding fathers could have been arrested for treason anytime up until Britain recognized their country. Many did lose family, lands and business due to their involvement in trying to start the new country. Some ended up living away from their families for years, due to the work they were doing. Another reason for admiration is the depth of knowledge and thought they brought to writing the constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Why should we thank the Founding Fathers?
Without them, we may possibly still be living in a poor world with harsh rulers, without rights, slaves and no women rights, being violated. They changed that for every one of us. Hope this helps!! :) Good luck!

The Founding Fathers helped out around the time of Boston Massacre in March of 1770 Holy christ. Are you serious!?! The Founding Fathers "helped out" around the time of the Boston Massacre!?!?!

My high school Social Studies teacher would have thrown his eraser at me if that was the answer I gave him. Just go to the real Wikipeadia and look up "Founding Fathers".

Why do you think the flexibility of the constitution has been important to American society?
Although the founding fathers were brilliant in creating a foundation for government in America, they knew that the Constitution was far from perfect. That is why the constitution is known as a living document because as society changes (ex. abolishing of slavery) the constitution changes as well. The constitution can be amended and new clauses can be added.
