Burning whole document and starting new might be the best option. As non-citizen I haven't understood the worship of it.

People respect the U.S. Constitution because it was the best attempt ever made to protect citizens from government evil.

It failed because people lost respect for the principles it was based upon.

Hopefully the 2nd amendment now that we are no longer in the 18th century........


Do you believe that because you have done your research, understood the negatives and postives, or just listened to the media.

DID you know gun violence has been dropping for over 15 YEARS? Oh no becaues the media won't stop talking about all the gun violence we have so you just assumed it's getting worse?

....  The game going on right now is in such open sight.. I... just wow.

I think this may lead to good things and/or bad things. What are your thoughts?

This can lead to very bad things.  Simply throw the 225 year old constitution over board, and for what? The Germans also once changed the constitution  Roll Eyes

I wouldn't count on this happening anytime soon.
If a valid constitutional convention occurs, it/they are not limited in scope. Everything is up for grabs.

Then how is the constitutionality of any law to be determined?
What does this line mean- congress shall make no laws

It means Congress Shall Not Interfere.

If CONGRESS Is Not Supposed To Interfere, Why Should Tthe Courts Be Allowed To?


THE ORIGINAL INTENT was that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT- NO MATTER WHAT PART- SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED OR INTERFERE IN THESE MATTERS.

They were for the states to figure out on their own.

That way each state could work things so that they would best work in that state.

Each state is different in its makeup and in other ways.

The basic rights would be the same since basically people are pretty much the same.

BUT NOT IDENTICAL. And the states would not each have identical ANYTHING.

But each state would have its own way of handling things that fit the best for THAT STATE.

But the bottom line is that the federal government had no business trying to tell the states what to do in those areas

Maybe we should work harder on upholding and abiding by what we have now first.

the problem with the constitution and amendments early on is that they left out a key phrase

"And the courts shall make no rulings"
Depends upon what the meaning of "is" is ... "Shall" has been held by some courts to be subject to conjecture. In my state, "shall" and "may" have been replaced with "will" and "will not" in legislation where discretion is neither intended nor desired.
