• I believe that Constitution of the United States must be interpreted based on the language and writing at the time it and each of the Amendments were written.

    Interesting. My country (the United Kingdom) doesn't even have a constitution, at least not a single written document. It's what we say is 'unwritten' or 'uncodified', and is based upon statutes, court decisions, treaties, the thinking of learned legal authorities (Coke, for example - no, not the soft drink, I mean Edward Coke, the eminent 17th Century jurist).

    So the British 'constitution', such as it is, is a very different creature from the American one you would have; it's an 'organic' one, which grows, adapts, and changes with the times, whilst remaining anchored in ancient and cherished principles of individual freedom and liberty ...
