The Constitution of the United States is considered a living constitution because it can be ammended by the Supreme Court and so while it was written a long time ago it is still being changed to this day. So, because the original document is not "written in stone" and can be altered it is considered to be a "living" constitution.

The Constitution of the United States of America is not set in stone. It is constantly subject to subtle interpretive change by the courts and major change by the passage of amendments.
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.
