I am a proud conservative/libertarian who thinks the Constitution is
written in stone - not some living, breathing document meant to be
tossed
aside when convenient to do so.

If the Constitution is written in stone, on what substrate do we find the
Amendments?

| Kudos!!!

Your ignorance is showing. Duh!

Amendments 1-10 are called the Bill of Rights. They were part of the
Constitution when it was ratified.

Actually, not. The Bill of Rights was introduced approximately two years
after the Constitution, and weren't ratified until December of 1791, two and
a half years after the Constitution itself had been ratified.

Amendments 11-27 were created thereafter ACCORDING TO THE RULES SET FORTH
IN THE CONSTITUTION.

The existence of amendments, in no way, indicates a living, breathing
Constitution.

Choice of terms. The existence of amendments shows that the Constitution can
be shaped to fit the times in which we are living.


Ugly, ignorant Americans. It's a disgrace! Most don't even know their own
history.
