Forums - Politics Discussion - Is it time America writes a new Constitution?

not if you are a crazy yank that has an armory bigger than the whole of Australia's arm.

as an outside i think American's are too wound tight and believe in that piece of paper as much as people do in the bible. Both being relevant at the time. Now they should be nothing more than a guide to how to be a good citizen if logic is lacking in your body and you cannot work it out for yourself.

hasnt the supreme court already been doing that?



 

its one of the best constituions in the world, cant make it any better.
but you should change something, the pledge of allegiance, some traitors changed it in the 50s, raping the constitution and the american republic



Def. "amendment" (noun): something every American seems to forget about that is supposed to be implemented, so the nation can evolve with the times.

"The constitution is like the bible; you can't change that! No, it's not, you moron; there have always been amendments, to prevent people like you from causing America to regress."



Unless you want to flip the whole system on it's head then it's much better to just have amendments to the constitution instead of writing a new one. What is wrong with the current constitution?

For what reason exactly? Do you even know the value of a constitution?



NO! End of conversation.



Honestly, there should have never been a U.S constitution in the first place. It baffles me how a few dozen people can make decisions that influence millions and then make up some concept of the "social contract" to support said claim. At least they had the foresight to limit the beast they created, but it still wasn't enough. I also think Americans could have solved their problems at the time without forming a federal government. The Federalists set up a very poor foundation to this country, and no matter how much the anti-federalists tried to rectify it, we are seeing the negative effects today.

I can say the same for most of Europe, Asia, and Oceania, although there are a few exceptions like Switzerland, New Zealand, and Hong Kong. Different people have different values and choose to manifest those values in their environment.
