The constitution was meant to be a living, breathing document else there would have been no ability to amend it nor would there have been a Bill of Rights.
Strict constructionists aren’t really interested in the original intent of the framers. They want to interpret it in ways that conform to their religious sensibilities, anyone else’s be damned.
Example:
