What is the purpose of a constitution? More specifically, why has the U.S. constitution been regarded as advantageous by constitutional scholars and considered to be the most enduring political document established in modern civilization? Which qualities of the U.S. constitution have we highlighted in lecture and discussions that make this political document as enduring as it has been for 232 years? Furthermore, discuss/explain the debate between constitutional scholars who view the constitution as "DEAD & static" versus scholars who view the constitution as "LIVING & breathing" and what this means. Lastly, which model of constitutional interpretation serves as the basis for the former viewpoint (DEAD) versus the latter (LIVING)? Provide insight/evidence to support your answer.

8.1 Review Question: Free Response The powers, rights and authority, granted to the general government by this Constitution, are as complete, with respect to every object to which they extend, as that of any State government—it reaches to every thing which concerns human happiness—life, liberty, and property are under its control. There is the same reason, therefore, that the exercise of power, in this case, should be restrained within proper limits, as in that of the State governments. —Brutus No. 2 Use the quote and your knowledge of U.S. Government and Politics to answer parts A, B, and C. A. Describe the argument made in the quote. B. Describe two arguments made by proponents of the Constitution in response to the concerns raised in the quote. C. Describe one way in which the concerns raised in the quote were resolved during the ratification process.
