America's Constitution is terrible. Let's throw it out and start over.

It's a good framework but the founding fathers, as farsighted as they were, had no way of anticipating the technological advancements that would come about since the document was written and ratified...such as automatic weapons that can fire 900 round per minute instead of muzzle loading muskets which took two minutes to reload (2nd Amendment).

They did provide a way for updating the document with amendments. As a matter of fact, they themselves made the first ten amendments with the Bill of Rights.

The 13th, 14th, 15th and 19th amendments have improved the document since then but Congress needs to pass laws now that can make amending the Constitution easier as it's way to difficult now.
