So wait a minute. I've read these men were primarily the authors of the Constitution; John Dickinson, Gouverneur Morris, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Thomas Paine, Edmund Randolph, James Madison, Roger Sherman, James Wilson, and George Wythe. And this thread is suggesting some of them were pretty young dudes at the time.

Were any of these guys constitutional lawyers?
How in the world could that be? I read that Constitutional lawyers must have a bachelor degree and a law degree. Wild guessing that's like 8 years of college. So just a passing thought, might it be that these guys weren't actually qualified to write the Constitution in the first place?

And maybe that's why nobody in Washington DC, where possibly fashion dictates education snobbery thinks what they wrote actually matters anymore.

Nah!
They're so confident the American people don't know and don't care, they defy us to enforce the Constitution.

I think that because they were not lawyers they wrote a nearly perfect Constitution.

It is like when you watch kids and they solve the simplest problems without a ton of legalese.

For example, two kids share an apple- the best way to make sure it is fair is “I cut, you choose”. In four simple words you guarantee fairness and happiness of both parties (you can even choose the smaller part if you like to be the generous sort)

I think the constitution was about 14 years later.
