We should clearly put that 3/5ths of a person part back in.

Hurr Constitutionalists are all stupid dumb retards.
Not at all, just a little misguided in my opinion. The Constitution is a great document and parts of it should be followed, and parts of it were wrong that we have or should change. We shouldn't blindly stick to something archaic just for the sake of it.
Is the Constitution a living document, as per the question? No, not really. Though the people who interpret the constitution certainly are, and our interpretations of certain parts of the Constitution have changed over the decades. The Constitution should be changed regularly over time to adjust for new changes and modern society, that's all most of us ask, I think. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to cling forever to a dead and outdated document just because it's what a group of men 240 years ago decided was best at the time.
