One of the weirdest things to me about the US constitution is how rarely the amendment process is used to actually amend it. Instead it is mostly used to pass unrepeatable laws. The only big changes to the constitution were allowing federal taxes on the general population and making the Senate semi democratic. And even the other amendments are the same format: ambiguous and very open to interpretation. Take the bill of rights. Nothing there specifically changes how the constitution works. It just adds some laws about what congress can or can't do. And it does so in very broad strokes. "The right to bear arms" has been litigated and re-litigated 1000 times and seems to be almost entirely down to the preferences of the day. It's been left up to judges to decide what parts to ignore entirely (the militia bit) and what it applies to (no surface air missiles or fireworks, rifles are ok). Yet everyone acts like the 2nd amendment is settled and either has to be accepted as it is today or repealed entirely. I don't know who has a better constitution. I just find it really weird that Americans think so highly of their one despite it breaking or failing all the time. Don't get me wrong, we all have our national blink spots. :)
