[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 1155110, member: 18"] I do not believe that our forefathers were so foresighted that could have any idea of where we would go as a society. I believe the founders devised the constitution for a moral population in which the document is more likely to be read as absolute. I do not believe the constitution to be devinely inspired and believe that any document written by men invariably has severe flaws. I believe the constitution to be the best set of guidelines one can find in terms of governmental affairs, with the exception of the founders substituting "pursuit of happiness" for "property" which I believe is much more appropriate. I believe the founders could not have foreseen the level of weaponry that exists today and would not have written the constitution the way they wrote it if they lived today and saw the world as it is today. I believe any man-made document has to be applied to the present time and not by standards that were applicable 200 years ago. While I respect others' right to disagree with my opinion on this matter, I do not find the opposing viewpoint to be persuasive anywhere except in a hypothetical discussion about a moral population.
