What is this nonsense? The Constitution to the United States of America is a perfectly legitimate document, upon which the foundation of American law is based. This single document has been the glue of the country, making sure that all sinews and veins of the peoples who inhabit this land are strong and bound to the ultimate national law.Granted, the Constitution is a flexible device, one that has been changed twenty seven times before. These changes, amendments if you will, are what keeps the document relevant and gives the American people enduring liberty

For those who would like to be rid of the AMERICAN Constitution should ultimately have to decide where their true ideals lay? Is it the vapid and transient notion of popular whim, or a long-lasting pursuit of self interest? Those who believe in the former must be thrown out, for they are not true Americans, but anti-government fanatics who would like to see the entire established authority be disassembled. Their views are not to be taken lightly.

So why then would there need to be any change in the Constitution? There are ramifications in wantonly throwing out a precedent forming document because then new precedent must be formed. As two hundred years of Constitutional law has evolved, we would then have to rework our notions of Con. Law and learn the new in and outs of an untested document.

Therefore, it is logical to presume that most people will be entirely against any dramatic change in Constitutional style, and would provide an inherently large backlash against any such change.

There is no way to fathom the idiocy of people who would ever want to change such an important document for their petty wants. It would be these actions that the Founding Fathers would be found rolling around in their elaborate graves. Alexander Hamilton, had he heard the effrontery proposed by these dissenting fools would be among the most vicious and acerbic defenders of the Constitution.

In the end, there is simply no way to wantonly change the entire Constitution; its a ridiculous notion in the first place. Luckily, this political minority is too far out of the any political ideological spectrum that their ideas will be quickly stymied or better, ignored by the educated public. I can only hope this to be true.

The Constitution is not an inflexible object. It flows with the generations, basking in the glow of liberty.
