Answer

Explanation

The framers created a way to amend the Constitution so it could be updated when the country and its needs changed. The amendment process makes the document adaptable while still requiring broad agreement before changes are made. Therefore, the correct choice is “They wanted the document to be able to evolve as the country changed and grew.”
