The Constitution is our most endearing document, but not everything you read online about the Constitution is accurate! Here are some of the top myths about the Constitution and the Founding Fathers still out there on blogs and websites.

To be clear, these myths are not about interpretations of the Constitution; they center on people and events related to the founding document.

“Separation of Church and State” should have been in the list.

[Jacquerie]

Another biggie is the bircher myth that congress had authority to limit the subject matter of the convention.

The biggest myth is that the Cons is still somehow in effect. It is DEAD!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely, positively 100% DEAD, and has been since at least the late 30s. Once the Enumeration went down the toilet, there was nothing left.

I NEVER hear anybody point out its demise, and that is shocking. You’d think Levin would mention it once or twice. Who knows, maybe he does and I missed it.

The Constitution is not dead, and it has not been replaced. It still has its full power, because at root it does not create rights, it acknowledges that they already exist. Well, they still exist and so does the Constitution that acknowledges them.

They just aren’t being used. Instead, another system that redefines the words of the Constitution is being used. And very few people want to learn how that is possible. So, it continues.

But nothing is wrong with the original except neglect, disinterest, and laziness.

*“Separation of Church and State” should have been in the list.*

Maybe the author of the article figured that someone smart enough to read an article about the Constitution isn't dumb enough to believe that one!

He continually states we are in a post Constitutional era.

The right to Privacy which gave us Abortion Rights.
