How does expansion of rights make the Constitution living?

It allows rights to apply to new problems in a changing society

The governing idea is that a living Constitution can be interpreted and applied in the light of changing social conditions while preserving its basic values. Rights are not limited to the exact examples imagined when the Constitution was written. Courts may apply constitutional principles to newer concerns, such as dignity, privacy, health, education, or environmental protection, when those concerns are connected with protected rights. Thus, option A is correct: expansion enables constitutional rights to respond to new problems and protects people in circumstances that earlier generations may not have foreseen. Option B is the opposite of a living Constitution, while C is wrong because courts can improve access to remedies. Option D is also wrong because a reasoned expansion generally strengthens the practical protection of rights rather than weakening it.
