OK. That covers voting. Coveture laws existed until the 1920s. Notions of “search” and “seizure” continue to unfold in the digital age. What is an “unusual” punishment in 2019? Proponents of a living Constitution are at least intellectually honest about their end game.

The 13th Amendment covers more than voting. I agree that a few provisions - eg, "unusual" punishment - look to social practice. Most of the document's structure assumes fixed written rules, to be changed the same way any written rules are changed.
