History is always changing

History is always changing. Whether is it because we find new documents, lose old ones or bury a remembering storyteller, the way we tell the story of our past changes every decade and sometimes more often.

My brother pointed me to some information about the constitution and its fragility. However, I wonder: surely the founding fathers who wrote it and included the framework for its change understood that it was not a stagnant document, that it would change and grow over the years.

Change is not intrinsically bad or good, it is merely change. What do you think? In what ways has change been bad for the constitution and for our country? In what ways has it been good and allowed us to grow into the nation we are now?
