re: #185 Dopamine Fish

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.

The first amendments to the Constitution — the Bill of Rights —were adopted 3 years after the Constitution was approved. So it didn’t take long for them to change their document.
