How does amending the Constitution demonstrate the desire to make a “more perfect union” by U.S. citizens?

The Constitution clearly defines the roles of government and protects the rights of citizens. It has a built-in "checks and balances" system to prevent one branch from becoming too powerful. It also provides for procedures to amend the document as the nation's needs change. It was a vast improvement over the Articles of Confederation that provided almost all power to the states, but didn't provide for any real way to regulate relations between the states. Many argue the Constitution doesn't work anymore, but there is one catch to our form of government. It requires an educated and responsible citizenry to participate in the process. We have gotten away from that and now most people are overcome with apathy. What we need is for people to get educated and pay attention to the process and not shows like American Idol.

Do you think there are more advantages or disadvantages to modern life as compared to life a century ago? Why?
Nadusha1986 [10]
There are countries nowadays, that live exactly like 1000 years ago. Maybe it would be easier to turn the question that way.

Ancient tribes still exist. They have gratitude for the simplest things, have kept secular traditions, and don't necessarily check their mobile phones for notifications about 27859 times a day.

The disadvantage is that they don't get the news about the latest iPhone in time. They don't even have money to buy a cigarette. They make them. But still.

People are totally uniform (you are likely to find the same brands whether you go to Doha, New York or London), everything is global, as are becoming languages (how many languages = ways of seeing the universe have totally vanished during the last 100 years ?) nowadays.

While 1000 years ago, diversity, total lack of pollution (either electromagnetic, chemical, radiological, sound, or material), lack of deforestation and animal species slaughter, certainly made life much tougher for human beings, but certainly not for the global Ecosystem seen as a whole.
