ITS TIME FOR A NEW CONSTITUTION

THE CONSTITION IS WELL OVER 200 YEARS OLD. AMERICA IS FAR DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS KNEW IT AS. WE SHOULD UPDATE THE CONSTITUTION TO TODAY'S STANDARDS.

America has the oldest written constitution in the world. However the America that the founding fathers knew over 200 years ago when the constitution was first written was vastly different from the America we know today. Maybe now in light of the Patriot Act, the War on Terror, Immigration Issues, and the like that we should consider updating the constitution to reflect our more modern times (as well as to reaffirm some of its original values). I would like people to comment on this thought and I encourage people to put in suggestions of what should be added or deleted from this hypothetical new constitution.
