I’m not a lawyer either, but you make a point. The Constitution was originally ratified with the promise that the Bill of Rights would be added. Originally there were 12 amendments—10 were ratified immediately, one in 1992 and the other is still out there.

The English have it much easier. Their Constitution is partially written, partially custom, but can be changed by Parliament whenever it wants to. Prohibitions against self-incrimination, double jeopardy, mentioned in the Magna Carta can be done away with.
