Because over time the needs and wishes of the people do change. When the US Constitution was written, the term "All Men" as in 'all men are created equal, that they are endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable rights' didn't mean 'all persons'. It meant 'all the adult white men' and excluded women, slaves and their descendants, and probably non-citizens.
