I believe in an evolving Constitution. A flexible Constitution leaves room for us to consider not merely how the world once was, but how it ought to be.
Meaning of the quote
The Constitution, which is the set of laws that guide our country, should be able to change and adapt over time. A flexible Constitution allows us to think about not just how things used to be, but also how they should be in the future. This means we can update the laws to meet the needs of our changing world and society.
