6. the constitution is like a foundation of a large building
if you remove a large portion of the foundation...the building will collapse

The document must be perserved and enforced as a whole document....not bits and peices. if you ignore the second amendment because of "changing times" you open up the constitution to all sorts of infringmenets. Its not completely unreasonable to destroy the 4th amendment in that same matter (that times have changed). One can make a convincing arguement with modern technology and with recent terrorist attacks that pro-active searches and seizers must be allowed to prevent such great harm from comming to society.

Its dangerous, the constitution must be perserved a whole, anything less makes the document almost worthless
