What bothers you most about the Constitution? The stilted language or the intent? The "Bill of Rights" set the United States apart from the rest of the globe and in two hundred years the freedom that the Constitution allowed made the US the most powerful and prosperous Nation in history. It seems incredible that a little more than ten years after we were attacked by a jihad who live in the 6th century there is a faction of mostly liberal and socialist Americans who are dissatisfied with the freedom that made us great.
One could say that is amazing. But, IMO, it is not. The Equal Rights Amendment was never adopted. Clearly those same liberal and socialist Americans are perfectly OK with the past and current status of women in this country and with the country of that jihadist.
Equal Rights Amendment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The president has brought foreigners here for due process of law. Yet, he ordered a hit on an American citizen. I'd say that the Constitution is pretty much a non entity at present and I'm not sure what purpose writing another would serve.
The anti federlists also predicted that a centralized government would eventually overstep the bounds of the constitution - and they have been proven right - even with all the checks and balances in place.
Congress should never have been given the power to fix their own salaries - who would run a business like that?
We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling and other related cases, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
We the People, Not We the Corporations
On January 21, 2010, with its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are persons, entitled by the U.S. Constitution to buy elections and run our government. Human beings are people; corporations are legal fictions.
We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United and other related cases, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
The Supreme Court is misguided in principle, and wrong on the law. In a democracy, the people rule.
We Move to Amend.
". . . corporations have no consciences, no beliefs, no feelings, no thoughts, no desires. Corporations help structure and facilitate the activities of human beings, to be sure, and their 'personhood' often serves as a useful legal fiction. But they are not themselves members of We the People by whom and for whom our Constitution was established."
~Supreme Court Justice Stevens, January 2010

Can it be better maybe but who do you really trust in this day and age not to make it worse in a attempt to make it better?
The reason the congress was established was because the people were spread out and communication was slow. They needed representatives to make government and the military responsive. We don't need that anymore. We also don't need a president who is "the most powerful man in the world". He is a diplomat that is supposed to serve and protect our rights. Congress is supposed to do the same through the passage of laws but the laws that are passed now only serve to restrict our rights. They represent their own best interests and not that of the nation and its people.
Our founding documents are almost unique in history in that they were written by a group of selfless political philosophers who were inventing an entirely new form of government. Understandably, their biggest failing was not foreseeing the subsequent rise of political partisanship, led by Thomas Jefferson.

Americans should face it, those selfless political philophers had economics as one of their goals. Economics was one of the primary reasons for the writing of the constitution. Jefferson was part of the group that wanted to make the constitution less selfish and give the new nation even more liberty. Political parties began forming before the Constitution was even ratified, liberals insisting a Bill of Rights be added or they would not sign off. The Declaration of Independence was probably more liberal than the constitution, but the Declaration had a propaganda purpose.

I trust the people.

Vox populi vox deus.
That's the basic premise behind the concept of demoracy.
Note that we do not live in a democracy?
the trouble with democracy is that it is run by people who WANT power.
The very fact that they want power ought to make them ineligble to have it.
I trust the people.

The constitution has changed from it's priginal tenants. We are much closer to becoming a form of democracy as when it was first written.
Most people could not even vote and senators were not elected by the people,
It's part of evololution. Time changes things and things change over time.
