Absolutely. To date, it has been amended 17 times. Among those: limiting pay for congress, enabling women to vote, abolishing slavery, prohibiting alchohol, reversing the prohibition of alchohol, etc.
In 1776 to cast a vote you had to be: a male, a land owner, a firearm owner, etc. The logic was that if you don't have "land" you have no stake in "laws of the land". If you don't have a firearm, you are not a functional part of the militia. And women couldn't vote because there were no polling stations in kitchens. you know, or whatever it was.
roger that.
I need to think more about this.
I'm not sure something can be considered a true Right, and yet be subject to change based on what Congress thinks or the Majority of voters thinks.
I need to wrap my head around this. For instance, can I have the Inalienable Right to Life, yet not the Inalienable Right to gun ownership. Seems like they should go hand in hand.
Thank you very much for the polite and informative discussion.
