WHY DID A GROUP OF WHITE MEN WRITE LAWS FOR PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE BORN HUNDREDS OF YEARS LATER WHY ARENT WE ALOUD TO CHANGE AND REVISIT THE CONSITUTION AS TIME CHANGES SHIT THATS FROM 300 YEARS AGO DONT APPLY TO TODAY THE FUCK

You know, Thomas Jefferson said that Americans should revisit the Constitution every twenty years and re-write from scratch as needed to reflect the changing needs of society. 

The reason for this, he said, was that he feared that Americans would not view themselves as stakeholders in the foundation document of US law, and therefore become divorced from the idea of their own self-governance, and that politicians from the President down would become ‘like wolves’. 

*Looks around at America in 2017*

Yeah he fuckin called that shit. 

you know shits bad when thomas jefferson is reasonable

    I also reject the notion that because you don’t like a law that it must be morally wrong.
