I've always thought that a great deal, possibly most, of any greatness the Founders had lies in the extent to which they KNEW they did not and never would have ALL the answers. That's why they wrote in a process to amend the Constitution. Some might say it's too cumbersome and difficult, but is alteration of any country's basic legal document a thing to be lightly done? I rather doubt that and I call as witnesses the 18th Amendment (Prohibition) and the 21st (Repeal of Prohibition). Maybe we shuld emphasize that particular aspect of the Founders: at least the leaders among them had some idea of their own limitations and, thus, wrote into the Constitution a means whereby new answers found could be added to the document.
