How about the bill of rights?
How about the 13th amendment abolishing slavery?
Meanwhile, your Constitution is being amended everyday by stealth and by maneuver. The choice is to take part in shaping the Constitution or be shaped by stealth.
We have a God-given document in the Declaration and the Constitution. We have the same via scripture. All three have been totally distorted and ruined by the actions of men. What in modern man makes you think we could improve on any of those?
Take a look at the history of the Amendments to the Constitution. Which have not been abused? The 14th made a mess to fix one. The 18th helped enrich organized crime and corrupted our politics beyond belief. The 21st reversed and in some ways worsened the situation by way of section 2. The 11th laid the foundation for the abomination of sovereign immunity. Then there is the 23rd and 26th neither of which worked to improve our republic. Need I mention the 16th and 17th?
At the heart of liberalism is the rush to “make things better”. I’m a Burkean when it comes to public policy. We need to build upon the good traditions while undoing the bad and replacing them with the better. We have a process in place for this. If conservatives rush from bandaid to bandaid we’ll just get more of a mess. I don’t see any history of changes to the Constitution which makes me confident that we’ll get there.
