Good lordy, is that true. I think most Americans think that our Founders were one big wise committee that came up with this thing in some spirit of compromise and God-given wisdom. Cripes, Aaron Burr shot dead the guy on our $10 bill in 1804.
We did extremely well in coming up with our Constitution, and while I won't argue that it's being followed precisely today, it's reasonably close. We're probably doing much better than expected. If we assembled the same guys in 2005 to draft a constitution, I'm afraid of what it might look like.
Given the same circumstances, they would make the same document. We have amended the Constitution when necessary. If people cannot understand simple words and they come to diametrical positions using the same words, there is no hope for humanity.
