The correct answer is Tests can be replaced as the Court redefines limits on civil liberties


Societal values change over time with new people realizing new things or opening up to new ideas or similar things. As new generations rose, they tried to change things that were old because they perceived them as bad. This behavior showed how multiple generations of supreme court justices changed the way that they defined civil liberties.
