Answer: A."Interpretations of the Constitution must change because its authors could not foresee modern life."

A judicial activist is the one who believes that the Judiciary system should limit the other powers of the government by the application of the constitution and its rights. A judicial activist would support that interpretations of the Constitution must change because its authors could not foresee modern life because He/she believes in the Constitution as the foremost source of power.
