This is a marvelous piece of work. The Us Constitution is a great book, I believe that it needs to be re-written. Life has changed, African Americans were not even considered human when this was written. So it needs updating, especially with the whole world living here now. The United States is browner now than ever before,and lets not talk about the gay / lesbian community. International relations, everything is different now.
