RafaEverything! The Constitution is very specific about the functions of the legislative branch of the US government, and also outlines the duties of the executive and judicial branches. Also, the Bill of Rights and amendments state rights of the citizens, etc. It is very relevant to everyday life. Some rights the Constitution gives us, we take for granted; other countries aren't privileged with such a good Constitution as we are.

Which method of interpreting the Constitution original intent or living document do you think is more valid?
Since you are asking an opinion I will give you mine. I believe that looking at the constitution as a living document is more valid. When the constitution was written 200 years ago many things we have today didn't exist, so there is a need to be able to address the world as it is not as it was. The one thing that hasn't changed is the question about what makes good government. If we can answer this question we maybe able to create a better government for the common good.
