The founders designed the Constitution to be amended by later generations because unlike a lot of people today, they understood the dynamic nature of history. They knew times would change and they wanted their basic principals to be adaptable to the times, hence the idea of amending... a process of adding new rules to override the old rules without actually removing them.
The idea that anyone should be strictly guided by the elaborations of a long gone era is foolish. The basic principles are simple enough... Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Some legal references call that the "spirit of the letter" while the rules are efforts to secure those principles. But the challenges to securing these basic principals today have almost nothing in common with the challenges to securing them in the 18th century.
The founders predicted this - which is more obvious than genius but that's WHY the Constitution is amendable. Jefferson even went so far as to say, every generation should have a new constitution. I'm inclined to agree as long as the basic principles are preserved.
I suspect the basic impasse is that demographics have changed to where democracy is becoming a threat to those who are losing majority status and often times, it's the antiquated laws that provide them with protection from the interests of the growing majority.
I also think people overestimate the Constitution as the ultimate law of the land. It's not. Private citizens, alien residents and private sector businesses have ZERO obligation to the Constitution which is a small volume of laws that only applies to the government, mostly for the purpose of establishing government protocol but also to keep the republic from becoming a tyranny.
The impeachment trial is proving the Constitution to be less-than-effective in this regard. So as far as I am concerned, any suggestion to change or replace the rules of the Constitution in order to restore its original purpose is very much order.

Hey Zill - your question wasn't for me but I'll answer - 13 FEB 1968, Armed Forces Induction Center, Oklahoma City, OK - I swore to "protect and defend the Constitution against all enemys, foreign and domestic..." This was, and is a blank check made out to the American people for an amount up to, and including my life.
I have had both, Secret and Top Secret clearances in my career.
Wishing you a great day and fantastic weekend my friend :)
SGM B out.

The Constitution was signed Sept. 17, 1787. The 13th state to ratify it happened May 29, 1787. It's the oldest written Constitution in operation in the WORLD> It's dne great by me, wouldn't have it any other way. From your posted picture you surf, you do so in the GREATEST NATION this world has known !!!

I tried wading through your stuff, Sicilian, but it was like a 600 page book with 500 pages of footnotes.
Who IS that raving woman anyway?

Interesting... I recognize some aspects of this analysis from what I've been told by two of my friends but they had a difficult time articulating it.
It's a lot to digest in one sitting so, I'll refrain from commenting for now, but I intend to do a little research to help me understand the picture better.
Getting back to my post - I wasn't drawing on anything so elaborate. It's really just run-of-the-mill civics, but the idea that private citizens aren't bridled to the Constitution seems to be reflected in your page.
In any case, hats off to getting all that information on one page!

You wouldn’t know the truth if it came up and bit you in the gluteus Maximus.

Figures, too damn lazy to try to find the truth. Or do you have a reading problem ?
