simple answer YES
Giving the government the power to define anything is to give the government the power to control everything with very often disastrous results.
A quick walk through the history of the 20th Century provides many examples of this in Europe, Asia, Latin America and the US. Europe from the mid 1920’s through the end of World War II some 20 years later provides a well documented example. The use of psychiatric hospitals in Russia for 40 years is another. The population purges in Cambodia and Communist China are yet another. And don’t forget the unconstitutional imprisonment of Americans with Japanese bloodlines in the early 1940smuch less the decades of the Jim Crow laws through out the Republic.
Unfortunately the list gets even larger as you walk back through the 19th, 18th, and 17th Centuries.
The Founding Fathers knew their history and that is why the Constitution was developed the way it was. Any attempt to by-pass or rewrite it to make it more contemporary ignores the history of mankind for the last 400 years.
BTW can anyone name any improvements breed into the human animal in the last 400 years?
Agree completely!
