Our Constitution needs to be amended, not replaced. The rise of political party partisanship, not foreseen by the Founders, is the main source of most of the problems we face today.

I would say heavily amended....people naturally fall into parties.....britain had the whigs and tories at the time of our founding....I think most americans of that time probably identified with on of those two parties somewhat.

no the constitution hasn't lead to this corruption. The people being corrupt has corrupted the constitution. Our constitution was designed to govern a virtuous and moral people. It's completely inadequate to govern anyone else

There is no need for a 'new constitution,' the notion is ignorant and ridiculous.
