What a bunch of male bovine feces.yes. maybe that is the problem.
they left way too much room for politics.
Constitution should have been about the same size as Bible. If it were, by now it would be size of the Encyclopedia Britannia.
and the first thing the Constitution should have said is that every person must be required to know the Constitution by heart otherwise he forfeits his citizenship. No! People should know the spirit of the Constitution, thats enough.
and they should have never allowed for amendments. no, the amendments are good, times do change and will continue to do so. or at least made sure that amendments may only be passed unanimously AND with 2/3 majority public support.
perhaps they just didn't care what would happen 200 years down the line. perhaps they felt their ancestors didn't deserve to have everything handed to them on a silver plate.
the Fathers based their decisions on their knowledge of HISTORY. They based it on what they knew, being intelligent men, their knowledge was limited, as is ours. but at no point in history was there ever the kind of *****fication we have today where not a single person is willing to move a single finger to bring about any change let alone a revolution. based on the history such and end was simply impossible for them to foresee.
Mr Obama is trying to change things, if he does, even a little, it will be a miracle..
Many others have tried and have succeeded to a degree, which is quite the achievement.
