CONSTITUTIONAL
FLEXIBIITY
“The real test of any constitution is the way it serves its own
people. As historical conditions change, so do the needs of a nation.
A workable constitution must be able to adjust to these changing
needs as they arise, to renew itself without violence and upheaval.”

THE CIVIL WAR
The Civil War was a long, violent argument over how to resolve the
slavery issue, and how the Constitution should be interpreted or
changed.

LIVING CONSTITUTION
“The real test of any constitution is the way it serves
its own people. As historical conditions change, so
do the needs of a nation. A workable constitution
must be able to adjust to these changing needs as
they arise…”
