I would wager there is no more alive document in the world.
I understand what you are saying. I said it lives and breathes when it is amended. It's going to be taking another breath shortly with this gay marriage issue.

Maybe some clarification is in order. Many on the left use the "living, breathing" document argument to justify their abuses of the constitution. Examples could be things like finding abortion rights, sodomy rights, and racial quotas in the constitution. Totally overlooking what is clear as day and in black and white in another part of the constitution that any rights not found in the document are the domain of the individual states.

I think you get what I am saying here.
