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.


What document freed all slaves living in states in rebellion against Union?

Issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, it declared that all enslaved people in Confederate-held territory were to be set free. While it did not immediately free all slaves, it was a significant step toward the abolition of slavery in the United States and altered the character of the Civil War.
