Is that sarcasm? The document was penned in part by slave-owning white supremacists. It enshrined slavery. Nobody alive today ever signed up for it. It is a compact among parties that are not alive today.

You must see beyond the circumstances that was part of society back then.

You can draw the same conclusion/line if someone wrote something today that improves the future hundreds of years later, some things are bad, but the signal & direction is not.

You are right, if we evaluate the U.S. Constitution within the historical context of the time, it was a milestone in human history. What I'm getting at is - let's move beyond an 18th century notion of human liberty and self-governance. Let's do better

We already are doing better, with some off shoots here and there. Look at Great Britain and what it has done for law over the years, despite its journey through it. We got to build upon something good to move forward and be better. No scrap & start over.

Given the historical context, you are 100.00% correct. I guess, what I'm getting at is - can't we do better than an 18th century notion of liberty?We don't relish 1970's coding, I mean in some ways yes, and the nostalgic geeks among us do. Let's do better!
