P.S., I fully understand why you prefer the Strength of Amendment and Ratification, the People Speak through their Representatives, bringing the People closer to their Constitution.
“bringing the People closer to their Constitution”
In my view, bringing the Constitution closer to the people.
In their brilliance the founders knew what they gave us was not perfect, only the best they could do, and instead of projecting us to rely on more revolutions they installed the ability for us - the people - to change what they gave us, peacefully. That has worked, many times. Unlike France we are not on our nth Republic since our founding, and unlike the U.K. we have a formal Constitution that mere federal legislation alone cannot change. I think ours is the better of the three systems. Not perfect, just the best.
