Several times, or at least in the example of the Constitution, they manage to get passed without revisions. I agree with the Right to Declare Rights, but only if the rights declared are useful rights that will serve in the future as well. Things change with time, and so do people. Our founding fathers did not expect society to run the way it is running today. Furthermore, the problem is that some individuals take their "constitutional rights" too serious, and then abuse them. Take, for instance, freedom of speech found in the First Amendment. It is abused daily by others. <br /><br />AYSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6200727840511425792.post-49237159682940785642013-01-26T20:18:19.363-05:002013-01-26T20:18:19.363-05:00Rights and Laws very complicated subject.
