Essay:Needed Constitutional Amendments (Glide08)

Doing one of my own because why not.

To quote the original creator of this sort of thing, Stabby the Misanthrope:

"At the time it was written, the US Constitution was one of the most progressive and forward-looking documents ever written. For its time. But today we live in a society fundamentally different from the society the Founding Fathers lived in, and the Constitution as it is does not address many contemporary concerns."

Furthermore, the US constitution has turned from a leader to a laggard in constitution-building, and the many attempts to update it for the 21st century propose radical changes with a small to nonexistent track record, instead of incorporating the tried-and-tested methods used in the rest of the developed world.
