"Interpretations of the Constitution must change because its authors could not foresee modern life" is a statement that a judicial activist would make.

Explanation:

The term judicial activism refers to the practice and conception of the judge as limiting the other powers of the government through the application of the Constitution and fundamental rights. It demands a greater role of the courts and that the judgments are creators of Rights (going beyond mere interpretation), with the intention of generating a change in legislation, jurisprudence or society.
