" It got much more liberalized over time. Just like the right to vote and freedom didn't apply to anyone but wealthy male citizens and gradually was extended to others. This is why arguments based on strict constitutionalism are not practical."
And noticed they actually amended the constitution for this stuff, not just declare it so and be done with it.

Yes, Monty, the constitution can be amended which is even more of a reason why you need common sense and practicality behind your arguments, not just following the words already in it. It was created as a living document and thankfully so.
