The world is not even remotely close to being the way it was in the 1700s. Nations rewrite their constitutions all the time for this exact reason. What's nonsense is constantly re-writing founding documents. At that point, you might as well not even fucking have them. Founding documents are supposed to provide a bedrock for your government and add permanency. Your constitution is perhaps the biggest thing restricting government, which is why authoritarian-leaning countries hate the idea so much since they're not able to just do whatever they please. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:950912864] in Can the US...
