Careful on this! Remember that the US Constitution is a general guideline. An example of very unwieldy is the state Constitution of TX that is constantly having amendments added for very specific items for things only for 1 localized area in the state, etc.

I agree, Pat. Changing the Constitution shouldn't be too easy, but not impossible either. Perhaps reducing the number of ratifying states to two thirds but keeping the time limit. Actually, the real problem is political and ideological, and it may be that no constitution
can survive this amount of division and discord. But if this is so, the secession argument would seem to offer the only non-violent alternative. These are anguishing questions.

But no secession, please.
Well, okay. But it probably won't be up to me anyway
