The Constitution isn’t biased in favor of wealthy white males, so that is not sufficient reason to replace it. Its biggest defect, which has become blindingly obvious during the Trump administration, is that it assumes that politicians will be honorable gentlemen.

There are no penalties for lying, committing felonies, corruption, and so forth. Trump should never have even been allowed on the ballot, but there is nothing in the Constitution to prevent it.

Yes, the U.S. Constitution is essentially “a 250-year-old document framed by wealthy white male landowners.”

(“Essentially” because it was framed 238 years ago, and because not all of the framers were “wealthy landowners.”)

But the story doesn’t end in 1789, when the Constitution went into effect. In the interim, the Constitution has been amended 27 times; the text has been interpreted and defined by the Supreme Court hundreds of times; and its tenets have been defined by the federal legislature (Congress) and the various state legislatures via legislation thousands of times.

Most to the point, what parts of the Constitution that was ratified in 1789 exclusively serve the interests of “wealthy white male landowners” today?
