Seem to remember a little death, war, and disregard for said constitution in there somewhere to make it all fit.
This is one of those questions I've been struggling with for a while. It seems like the nation we are today is so far removed from the one the founding fathers envisioned that; I can only fault the document itself.
Am I the only one who would dare think they may have gotten it wrong?
So for instance had the phrase "all men are created equal", effectively abolished slavery; would the civil war have been prevented? What was plainly worded wasn't even in actual practice at the time. Slavery was.No, many conservatives think the same thing, and they're just as wrong as you.This is one of those questions I've been struggling with for a while.

What of matters of peacefully leaving the Union? Also absent. Surely had you been there, knowing what you know now... you'd be tempted to add maybe a tweak?

I see repeal of the 14th Amendment, which was passed at bayonet point during Reconstruction, as the solution to the main problems we face.This is one of those few times in life, that I'm truly shocked by a reply...Seems to be working just fine thank you
You can see no problem current, or past; that could've been remedied by a better drafting?
It has been interpreted to allow the feds to do almost anything they want.
The Great White Fathers had nothing to do with it.
You are welcome to take them before the courts. Our Constitution allows you to do thatYep, despite the criminal Obama/Holder agenda.Greatest document in our historyThis is one of those few times in life, that I'm truly shocked by a reply...Seems to be working just fine thank you

"For the framers of the Constitution were the most liberal thinkers of all the ages and the charter they produced out of the liberal revolution of their time has never been and is not now surpassed in liberal thought."This is one of those questions I've been struggling with for a while.

yes, you are correct. Their intent was to make liberalism illegal but they were not clear enough so now we have a slow liberal decay.
Your post presumes the Founders did not anticipate that changes in science and world events would render their understanding of society as novel as the Greeks or Romans understandings. And, as a result, they produced a document capable of being adapted without altering the overall concept of representative democracy and compromise.This is one of those questions I've been struggling with for a while.

Are you saying MacArthur, a West Point graduate, was an illiterate? Liberalism means the same today as when MacArthur made that speech to the Congress."For the framers of the Constitution were the most liberal thinkers

of course the typical illiterate has no idea that liberal then meant they were for very very tiny tiny govt because our Founders realized that central govt had been the source of evil in human history.

MacArthur was wrong however in calling the framers liberals, they were of different ideologies but some of the ideas used in the Constitution were from the Age of Enlightenment, and the ideas were liberal.
