but that is just a dream because it will never happen. We have what we have and have to work within this framework unless we have a constitutional convention.
I view the legacy of our constitution as negative. It should be a "living document" that could be changed if needed. The founders gave us a way to change things but it has proven to not work, so we are forced to continue to operate in a system that was designed over 2 centuries ago when the world was completely different.

So instead of celebrating our Constitution as something that has endured, I think it is responsible for most of the evils that we now are witnessing. It was a amazing plan to begin with but no longer functions as designed because the society is so vastly different that the founding fathers could have envisioned.
