“Government should exercise only those powers specifically named within the Constitution.”
“The Supreme Court must evaluate laws according to the literal language of the Constitution.”

Answer 1

“Interpretations of the Constitution must change because its authors could not foresee modern life.”

Explanation: Judicial activism favors a "living Constitution" approach, adapting constitutional interpretation to contemporary conditions rather than sticking strictly to the framers' original intent or literal text.
