27 amendment have been made? why did it need so many amendments? I thought it was designed to be untouchable, the last word in how a country should be run and how people should be allowed to live.The greatest thing these men ever did was create a government that can grow and bend with the society it represents to avoid becoming outdated and irrelevant. Of course, you have to change the document from time to time to match the current society but that is what the it was designed to do. Our constitution never would have lasted as long as it has, had we not made the 27 amendments we've already made to the original document. If we need more, then so be it.
I think everyone will agree that their 'everyone is entitled to bare arms' was the worst one handed down, the pain and suffering that has cause is immeasurable and will remain so for the foreseeable future, millions have and will continue to die and be maimed because of those few words.
What would happen if a hand gun was invented that would kill a dozen people with one bullet? would people still be allowed to own them?
I'm glad the UK doesn't have a constitution, the laws can be added to or change as circumstances dictate.
