There is a mechanism to amend the constitution, which has been used numerous times over the years, as the country and culture have shifted. I think it's somewhat naive to think, especially in the current climate, that a rewriting of the constitution would do anything to serve the people.
- baron816 6y agoI made no mention of how likely it is. As far as I know, I’m the only one who wants to do it. Movements have to start somewhere though.
- Areading314 6y agoThat may be. But if you want to start a successful movement, think about how it would look as a constitutional amendment. How would you define the amendment in such a way that it accomplishes the desired change, but in a way that 2/3 of congress could still get behind it?
- akvadrako 6y agoThere is also the possibility of a constitution convention, where many amendments could be proposed and adopted in a short period. I think most people consider this a very risky move.
