But if I had to answer your question, I'd say that the true meaning of the constitution is that it is our set of rules by which we live. It is not a living (ever changing) document. That makes it worth less (2 words).

Too bad the founders did not agree with you.

I enjoyed the link on your profile page....

HOW TRYANNY CAME TO AMERICA

I quote:  "Let me say it yet again: The rights of the people come from God. The powers of government come from the people. The American people delegated the specific powers they wanted the federal government to have through the Constitution. And any additional powers they wanted to grant were supposed to be added by amendment.

It’s largely because we’ve forgotten these simple principles that the country is in so much trouble. The powers of the federal government have multiplied madly, with only the vaguest justifications and on the most slippery pretexts. Its chief business now is not defending our rights but taking and redistributing our wealth. It has even created its own economy, the tax economy, which is parasitical on the basic and productive voluntary economy."
