> via this all precious constitution of yours?

This reveals that you didn't ask in good faith.


I’m an American and I think the same thing:

Why is it so important?

It’s either so heavily interpreted that it means different things than what’s written (2nd Amendment), it’s needed complete adjustment to even pretend to meet its ideals (Slavery), the adjustment needed adjustments (Voting Rights Act), and every step of the way those adjustments get watered down, stripped, rendered meaningless…

It’s a document written by people from a different time. Why be beholden to the past, when it’s not even recognizable in its current form to when it was first drafted?


Not really. The United States Constitution can be mocked in good faith.
