From Justice Stephen Breyer's Active Liberty (emphasis added):
"[The Framers] wrote a Constitution that begins with the words 'We the People.' The words are not 'we the people of 1787.' Rather their words, legal scholar Alexander Meiklejohn tells us, mean that 'it is agreed, and with every passing moment it is re-agreed, that the people of the United States shall be self-governed."
