    Some people believe that the United States Constitution is a dead document meaning that the interpretation, literal meanings of words at the time by the people who drafted the Constitution that the bill of rights specifically is finished and that these ideals should be used by the courts within the U.S. judicial system.

    Others believe that it is a living document meaning because of rights not enumerated and also the many years ago the document was written that a new interpretation based on current laws etc. Also that the constitutions bill of rights are unfinished and that these ideals should be used by the U.S judicial system.
