A document as old as 200 years remains relevant in current social, political, and economic events through intelligent interpretation and the timelessness of the principles that the document is based on.

Explanation:

The 'elastic clause' put in by the makers of the Constitution during its drafting has allowed the Constitution to be highly flexible and rigid at the same time. The clause makes sure that the United States Congress can make and pass laws that are necessary for the good of the nation in any given circumstances that arise out of social, economic, political, etc., issues.
