Why the U.S Constitution sucks balls

[Burning_Inside]

Loopholes. Either intentional or unintentional.

For instance, first amendment states that congresss shall make no law interfering with free speech or right to protest and peaceably assemble.

Yet that is just federal laws. Seriously nothing is stopping any state from being like hey that's it, fuck off, no freedom fo anything, you dont like it get get lost.

Also the separation of church and state thing. Technically all the constitution says is that there can be no federal laws made concerning religion. It doesn't say for example that a public school can't allow prayer.

So basically i dunno what the founding fathers were thinkig. Did they not see the complete potential for any state to adopt traits making them just like England at the time, the place they couldn't stand, right within their very own national borders? I understand they were trying to leave everything open ended, but maybe they put too much faith into people not being dickheads int he future and they should have made things a bit more locked down tight as to what states can do.

The Federal Government was intended to loosely hold the States together under a common flag, provide for common defense from aggression, and secure free commerce across the borders of the States. Each State was expected to create it's own Constitution.

Jefferson never envisioned a ruling Political class. I think the only way to return things to a Constitutional Republic is to set up term limits for all Legislators. Two terms for the House and a single term for the Senate. Also, the Senate should be appointed according to the several State's Constitutions as it was designed to be representative of the State's government, the House was to be representative of the People.

I don't think they truly knew that this would happen to their Republic. It originally stood for states rights with a centralized federal government to protect against invasion.

Now we have a irontight centralized gov't with very little states rights.

What went wrong?

civil war, labor rights movement--and the commerce clause being interpreted to apply to everything (until about 1998)
