Re: The Reason Democrats Are Backing Gay Rights and Marijuana Legalization
the majority could indeed use the Amendment process to change anything in the Constitution and that includes a right that is now enjoyed.
Fair point. The majority can't take away a constitutional right. However, the rights in the constitution came from those who wrote and amended it coming to agreement, not from a deity.
The initial constitution allowed slavery and denied women (and non-property holding white men) the vote. We have changed it - collectively - to remove those. No deity came down and told us to do that.
