wait

Without precedence, you have anarchy.

so you said it evolves because of it

but it also stabilizes evolution

so

what is it

Both.

@fannybandit No precedence can be set at any point.

but it just so happens

this one

is 300 years

old

Stability of evolution, in itself, allows us to evolve.

stability of evolution is an oxymoron

How so?

Without stability, we don't evolve.

ah the french revolution

when all was stable

They didn't have rule of law.

wtf

@fannybandit The American Constitution was put together by a group of elitist, white males living in the 18th century. They were influenced by the "enlightenment" thinking of that time. They had no conception of what kind of world we would be living in today in the 21st century. How could they possibly have written something that would still make any practical sense?

You're comparing a corrupt monarchy that starved it's people to a modernized constitutional republic.

@When Things Aren't Right Go Left Those "elitists" put their lives on the line to overthrow a tyrannical monarchy.

You're comparing a law made in a society 300 years ago to one now.

What of it.

It's the same society...the same nation as well.

Different society.

Under the same law, it is the same.

No, the law has changed as well as the constitution since then,

It's merely modernized.

so not the same.

@fannybandit They owned slaves and you believe they care about freedom?

The law was enhanced, not changed.

No it was changed.

@When Things Aren't Right Go Left "All men are created equal".

Wow for an American you sure don't know a lot about American and world politics.

"We the People".

@fannybandit Are you joking?

The constitution is against slavery, however, owning slaves at the time was the normal thing to do.

Anyone with wealth owned slaves...which quickly ended around a similar time-frame.

Less than 50 years to be exact.
