The problem is-- who is going to re-write it? This is a serious question. Do you really think a consensus of those currently running the US government could do better than the Framers?
No they won’t. But someone will. Because someone would need to. Probably a lot of people. And the states would need to ratify it. If you can get all the states on board with something, it might be better than what we currently have. It might not.
But that doesn’t matter. What we have today is broken. Unquestionably, it needs a major overhaul. Nothing lasts forever. Not even the United States of America. The Framers weren’t special people. They were ordinary men. No smarter than us today. And we understand the world today much much better than they ever could. So I’d bet on any random one of us, over them.
The Constitution isn’t a holy text with “teachings”.
Even the guys who wrote it, thought it had a lot of problems and didn’t think it would last 50 years.
It realy should be completely be re-written. With an expiration date built in, to ensure it gets re-written in the future.
