Read my quote more carefully. I wrote “is seen” to indicate a general perception and not a legal reading of history. You can argue that “perception” of history is flawed and the only true view of history is via through documentation. However, I would argue that both readings are correct and that America’s “mythology” (our image of ourselves and our history) is also important.
Yes, and the document is the Constitution.

Honestly, I don't see how one could correctly use feelings to interpret a plainly written word.

While our image of ourselves and our history is important, an 'image' based on falsehood is nothing but a lie.

Do you believe the Constitution is a 'living document'?
