The Constitution has worked for some 200 years. However, recently people are demanding more and more new supposed rights, and it's putting stress on the system our Constitution created. The stress on our system comes from people's right to read things into the Constitution.
Allan Feifer with the American Thinker says, "We want to define the limits of everyone's existence in finite detail. That never was intended to be there."
Feifer says political pandering is also complicating the Constitution. He said, "They're pandering to people's worst desires, like not having to work, or getting free things. Millions of people now live for free things."
Those politically driven handouts are then given the label of "rights" by those that are pushing for them. This results in the political opposition to these handouts being treated as opposition to fundamental human rights, which can lead to everything from extensive complicated legal battles to even political violence.
