question 1 - 30
why is the constitution often referred to as a \living document?\
it can be changed as needed.
it protects fundamental human rights.
it outlines the structure of the political system.
it supports the principle of limited government.

Explanation:

The term "living document" implies adaptability. The Constitution can be amended (changed) through a formal process (Article V in the U.S. Constitution, for example). This ability to evolve over time to meet the changing needs of society is what makes it a "living document". Protecting rights, outlining the political system, and supporting limited government are important aspects of a constitution but do not directly relate to it being called a "living document" as much as the capacity for change does.

Answer:

It can be changed as needed.
