Even if that were true, it's not really up to the people who intended it to be something else 200 years ago. It's now on us to figure out what kind of nation we want to be.
- Ancapistani 3y agoThose people 200 years ago agreed with you - they implemented an amendment system specifically for that purpose. Too bad we seem to have decided to just ignore the whole thing (except when it suits us, of course)
