| SamuelRSmith said: Why dod Americans give such a shit about the constitution? A document written around 200 years ago by some old guys in funny wigs? And, hell, it's not all that forward looking... if it was, there would be no need for amendments. At the end of the day, all people, and all leaders should just say "bollucks" to any constitution and just do what's right for the people at the time. Oh, and a free market doesn't mean a free people, in fact, it can often result in the opposite, especially when we start talking worldwide. |
Because the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land that protect our basic rights.
No law is allowed to infringe on the constitution... and therefore to change, modify or take away what are seen as are most precious rights you need to go through an longer process and get more support then a normal law would.
