Man if the American constitution was rewritten every 19 years, or at least easier (but not too easy) to amend, they would be somewhere else

It's a fun contrast to see in the light of Constitutional Originalists, who maintain that the Constitution should be interpreted according to the intention at the time it was written rather than being interpreted as a living document.

By their own argument, the intention of its authors was that it shouldn't be taken so god damn literally hundreds of years later.
