Unfortunately the people who think it shouldn't be a "living" document that changes over time are usually idiots.

How can it protect people from the government if it can be reinterpreted at a whim by the government?

The checks and balances system, the fact that the lawmakers also need to live under those same laws (I know, I know). Since it is a living document it can be made to be adjusted so there is less confusion or to add new protections. I just woke up so this may seem incoherent and I'm sorry for that.
