I believe this argument is the very reason our Constitution has in it the means of Amendment, which allows it to be fitted to future generations without the tearing away of the Universal principles that brought it forth to begin with.
Fair enough, but according to Jefferson's thoughts, shouldn't the whole Constitution be revisited every thirty four years or so, rather than just patched?
I don't think so. IMO, very little of it needs any 'patching', what we're lacking as a nation is the will to understand and follow it. Jay Leno told a joke way back when Iraq was trying to come up with a Constitution of their own. He said, "Why not just give them ours, we're not using it!"
What I meant by patching was 'amending'.
There are already 27 I think.
