😱 It has come to my attention that we Americans have a problem understanding the constitution of the United States. If we read it and try to decipher what is written we might, understand it, but that would be too difficult for our feeble minds. The constitution before the amendments is not the law of the land as 99% of the people of my great country seems to think. The fact of the matter is that the constitution in reality is a job description. But of course, reading the constitution would take time and understanding a grade school student would understand. But we, my great citizens of this great land are too lazy, they would rather listen to what somebody else tells him the constitution says. If you were to look at the constitution before the amendments, you would realize that it’s not a set of laws but a set of job descriptions. It states what the president is supposed to do, it tells what Congress is supposed to do and it tells what the court is supposed to do.
Now we come to the amendments, There are so many people in the United States that have no idea what the amendments spell out.
Yes we have freedom of speech to criticize the government, but no were does the Constitution says that you can libel or slander a person. We have freedom of government forced religion but your religion can’t practice human Sacrifice.
Nowhere in the constitution does it say that every Tom, Dick, Harry and Sally too can have weapons. It very specific, A well regulated militia being necessary.
The first two amendments I just mentioned are the ones that are the ones that are most talked about in the present day.
I love those who talk of how the founding fathers believed as though the first leaders of my country were of one mind, I wonder what history books those making those claims read?
Is it me or didn’t one of our founding fathers ( Thomas Jefferson) states that the constitution should be rewritten every 35 years.
