U. S. Constitution

by john.a.wills . Updated 12 years, 9 months ago

This document was very well designed. In over 200 years it has had fewer amendments than the current German constitution, which perhaps tries to include too much that really belongs elsewhere, in 60-odd years. Still, there do seem to be some things which need straightening out. I am not thinking of tax or budget details (matters for infraconstitutional law) but of places where the courts and even Congress have been led astray, and perhaps where the evolving party system has made some election details no longer appropriate. And maybe even there were some mistakes in the original composition. Obvious examples are… well, what do you think?
