re: #182 Scottish Dragon

They thought we would change the constitution as needed. They didn’t realize that their checks made the constitution almost impossible to amend. The only truly substantive amendments were made when half of Congress and the states were out doing treason stuff.

They also didn’t consider that people would come to consider the Constitution as a sacred text, instead of a piece of paper with words that could be amended any time to fit the needs of the country as time went on. There was quite an argument about the amendments and the amendment process at the birth of the Constitution, but once all was said and done, it was fairly apparent to everyone that it was a thing that would need to be done eventually.
