7. They were wise enough

Without an inkling of what the future would bring, the document they scribed allows the 1st amendment to cover such things as radio, social media, and a myriad of other innovations. The 4th covers such things as cell phones and email. Those fellows saw more than many of us can imagine.

Bring a sound enough document to allow those rights to exist in an age unforseen by the most imaginative among them. I find it difficult to consider the advancement in firearms was not predicted. This is a subject best left in the trash, telling voters we represent the constitution, while threatening to curtail the right to self-defense is ridiculous. Winning elections is hard enough without burdening our representatives with this bologna.
