Thanks JSDude1. Nice bit of clarification MosesKnows.

Which again raises a simple point; that is, would most of us agree the Constitition was written so that The People could interpret AND understand it? And are The People not the final arbiters of what the Constitution means -- ultimately?

If this is true, and I believe it is, how do we proceed from here using this tool? OR, are we already past the point of gaining any ground by parsing the meaning of our Constitution?

Gotta go get a haricut before I have to put it up in dreadlocks or something.

YUP. Which means that we should be able to settle disputes individually with each other legally. It also means that if something is Unconstitutional (as the power resides in “We the people”) then we do not legally have an obligation to follow it (by our own reading-if reasonable).
