Default Living or Literal?

With the religious and political debates raging on the Current Events Board, I started to wonder-- do you think that the US Constitution and the Bible are living documents to be interpreted according to the times or are they literal documents to be interpreted as they were when they were written?

I'm as curious about the correlation people make between the two as I am about the question itself...

Personally, I view them both as skeletal frameworks applicable to the times rather than stagnant and unchanging.
