<span>Without amendments, we are stuck with what some guys thought would be nice over 200 years ago. A few things we took out of the constitution by amendment: Slaves count as 3/5 of a person. The incoming president must wait five months after being elected to take office. Electoral college for senators (now--can we get rid of it for presidents?) We also filled in holes that were evident in the constitution, and clarified more rights that people have. The Bill of Rights is all amendments--they wanted a working government first before they decided what limits to put on it. Women were allowed to vote. Someone figured out that if a president becomes sick but doesn't die, the government is in limbo, because the VP couldn't just do the President's job until an amendment was passed saying how it would be determined the Pres was too sick to do his job. Allowing amendments allows mistakes made by the writers of the constitution to be corrected, and for changes they didn't forsee to be allowable.</span>

Hey there!
One reason that Americans are against communism is that they have seen it fail in disasters in so many countries.
Mao Zedong, the communist leader of China, setting up a nationalist regime that led to the death of tens of millions of people. Communism also failed in the Soviet Union, North Korea, and Vietnam.
Americans want to live in a free market economy where they work and keep what they earn. With communism, the government owns all of the means of production, so people's money goes into a national money pool that is equally distributed among other people that might not have worked as hard.
I hope this helps!
