Fun facts:

When the Constitution was written, there was no:
1) Automobile
2) Computer
3) Republican/Democratic Party
4) X-Ray/MRI
5) Electric Power
6) Telephone
7) IRS/Federal Reserve
8) Internal Medicine
9) Airplane
10) Pledge of Allegiance
11) Television
12) Internet
13) Abolition/CRA
14) Women's Suffrage

In hindsight, treating a document that was written 230 years ago as sacrosanct seems like a great idea!

Three things:

1. Treating any document as sacrosanct during any time is not a very good idea.

 

2. Your implication is a non-sequitur because none of these things alter fundamental human nature.

3  The U.S Constitution "legally" codified the creation and institution of the federal government. Hencely the "social contract" that is government is the same as the constitution. Unless you posit that a breach of contract is just, where do you believe government derives its powers? (I personally take the stance that it unethically derives it from force btw. )
