[DERAIL]Here's a question. If the Amendments are - yanno - amendments, what's to stop America having more Amendments to bring things in line with changing times and new political realities and all that?
(It just occurred to me to ask and now that I've asked it I'll just bet it's a whole Twitter meme from sometime last century. *sigh*)
ETA: Found the answer. For the non-Americans: it's because the population is fairly evenly split and Amendment proposals tend to be Rep/Dem divided. [/DERAIL]
