This framers constructed a "living document" thus like a baby transitions and grows into a toddler then adolescent then preteen so on ans so forth.
As the country grows and the nation embarks in its struggles and progress its the hope and intent that the gov't, the nation, the society will improve.
Yes, all of these amendments, plus in the Voting Rights one, abolishing PACs, limit contributions to politicians to individuals only, with a limit; no gerrymandering, only orderly, square grids; and abolish the electoral college. Plus, no preferences to churches or religious organizations; they are a business, and should be taxed as such. Plus in the ERA, add LGBTQ persons with equal rights.
I agree in amending. But NOT BY Trump!! Can you imagine at Trump’s behest, changing THE
Most important document of the United States of America ?!! oh my God, can you imagine what he could do? So I disagree. Not right now. It’s just too dangerous a proposal. As always., I respect Nicks decisions and I respect whatever he suggests. But I have to comment. On not the idea that Nick suggests, but NOT if Trump is making the decisions.
It’s one thing to suggest doing these 10 things. It’s quite another to do it. We have too many spineless politicians in the House and Senate along with an Insane
Clown Posse (my apologies to ICP) in the White House to move the mountain. Where to start?
This is a great article, and I agree that the constitution was designed to be amended by future generations that would be living in different times. These constitutional originalists, especially in the Republican Party, drive me insane.
Excellent article!!! We need citizens to be in charge in changing the Constitution not the state legislatures!!! We also need immigration reform now. The people who are here and have been here for years or even decades should not fear for their safety unless they start doing things that are against the law!!!!
I agree the Constitution was created with the idea to be Amended over time as the country grows and the needs of the people change.
