The Constitution is a living document, as seen every spring when the Supreme Court starts issuing opinions on landmark court cases from across the country. From Roe v. Wade, to Loving v. Virginia, to Brown v. Board of Education, decisions made by the Supreme Court have shaped our country's laws and people.
