No contradiction at all. We were warned when the Constitution was written that it was wholly inadequate for people that were not moral. Any new one would be suffer the same fate.
By your logic, the Ten Commandments are not fine as-is because people break them. In either case (Constitution or Commandments), what changes would you propose that would make people follow the new words any more than they follow the existing ones?
I'm a bit demoralized right now. When words have no meaning then the entire thing is going to come crashing down on us. I hope that if Obama gets the civil war he's been trying to instigate it happens before I'm too old to matter

That was EXCELLENT and perfectly stated to frame the entire point I have spent a thousand words attempting to articulate on this thread.
I do not recall any amendments to the ten commandments.
The Constitution has been amended 27 times ... thus far.
If it was “fine as-is” then why were those amendments needed?
