How has the Constitution become more Democratic?
Constitutional interpretation sits in two general camps: conservative and liberal. A conservative interpretation follows the rule of if the Constitution doesn't specifically allow the government to do it, the government can't do it. Liberal interpretation follows the rule of if the Constitution doesn't specifically disallow the government from doing it, the government can do it. Constitutional interpretation is entirely up to the Supreme Court, and each individual Justice has differing interpretation beliefs and varying degrees of that belief. In the early 1800's, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was a federalist by the name of John Marshall. Federalists, obviously, interpreted the Constitution in a more liberal manner. Chief Justice Marshall's rulings greatly increased the power of the Judicial Branch in federal government to be equal to the Executive and Legislative branches, allowed vastly historically important policies to take place due to liberal interpretation, and laid the groundwork for future liberal interpretation as well. In today's politics, Republicans are primarily conservative interpreters while Democrats are primarily liberal interpreters.
