The original opposing factions of the Founders were far closer to each other in intent than where we are today. The fact that the interpretation of the Constitution has changed so radically where you can point out where it decisively was interpreted differently implicitly tells us that the original language and spirit are no longer obeyed. We're somewhere else as a result of the Civil War, the New Deal, the Great Society, and now the utter capitulation to the Nanny State that is Obamacare. I mean, the language hasn't changed that much. We have written records of the Constitutional convention and the ratification debates within the States. Obamacare, for example, was a universe away conceptually from what the Constitution allowed the Federal government to do. No amendments have been introduced since then that would allow for many of the functions of government. Yet there they are. You can argue that judicial precedent and inherently unconstitutional laws have brought us to this point - but you can't really argue that our Federal government isn't in constant violation of the Constitution.
