The concept of a "living Constitution" goes back to some of the guys sitting in that room in Phlipadelphia over 200 years ago whose personal letters and biographies speak about writing the document in general terms and propositions that allow for changing needs. I think John Marshall was of this "school" and even Jefferson, to some extent.
The case is also made in one of the Federalist Papers...but I dont recall which one and there is no cheating in the Pub by doing google searches.
