Held in a bit too much reverence, but overall a freedom document, even if it really should have quite a few more amendments and be easier to amend.

I have to agree with this

A freedom document... in the 1780s.  It's time for a redo.  Screw the founding fathers.  I'm sure they were thinking about the freedoms of people in the year 2013 as they were beating their slaves into submission.

Freedom Document for its time but in the need of several new amendments or simply an outright replacement at this point in time.

Horrible document, should be repealed and redone. As I've said before, the Founding Fathers were, for the most part, rich, white, racist crybabies who started a war because they refused to pay taxes. America will never have any legitimate form of socialism as long as the Founding Fathers are viewed as positively as they are.

Horrible Document, but not nearly as horrible as the cult that has grown around it.

It was pretty good when it was written, but now it's far below standard compared to the constitutions of most European countries.

Freedom document on the balance but we still need to bear in mind that it is just a document written by men, not dropped out of the sky from God into Thomas Jefferson's lap like some Republicans seem to think. That being said, a "living interpretation" of the constitution makes about as much sense as a "living interpretation" of the NFL rulebook.

This so very much. I'll say it was a relative FD in 1787 though.

Well now, that would depend on your ideology, wouldn't it? Wink

I didn't vote in the poll. It was a FD, on balance, at the time and a HD, once again on balance, today.

The abolition of private property and enterprise is merely a matter of common sense?

One of the best things written in human history, drafted by some of the most brilliant people in human history, but still out-dated and not particularly relevant to the running of a modern country.

A great document, obviously.

Also I love the whole THOSE OLD GUYS WERE RACIST epidemic, pretending as if today's standards existed then.
