The founding fathers of the United States and the constitution were no doubt extraordinary men and intellectuals. There are politicians and scholars of yesterday and today that speak of it as if it was some holy scripture and that one would be guilty of treason for suggesting it may not be the best way to govern a nation. But that is exactly what I would like to do today. I am questioning whether or not it is the best way to govern a country.
The constitution of the United States is 229 years old and has served the United States well. Slavery and women’s suffrage were two large issues that the constitution was able to deal with by making amendments to the constitution. And that’s not to say that amendments wouldn’t work in the future to tackle important issues but is it the best way? Instant communication, encrypted security, computers, artificial intelligence and blockchain technology are all things that never existed 100 years ago; so could all this technology along with some great intellectual minds create a governing body that would better serve the people? What do you think?!

STOPThe constitution is gone thanks to the people thinking it created what we have now which is 100 percent false the founders wanted the government to have the power over defense, justice, treasury, and state.... Now they have interior, education, agriculture, labor, health, housing, transportation, energy, and homeland security. so the question is should the government be involved in these things and the answer for me is hell no thats like your whole life right there. could the states deal with these things yes thats the beauty of the tenth amendment. which there my swell be no tenth amendment its been forgotten.
