Reply #28: Actually, the U.S. Constitution is quite simple, compared to most other nation's Constitutions...

That's probably why it is so resilient after all these years. I mean, compare the U.S. Constitution, at 12 pages, to the E.U.'s(not yet in effect) at 300 pages. And the E.U. Constitution isn't alone, many countries have constitutions that deal with EVERYTHING in their nations that could possibly be considered important, sometimes to absurd levels. I'm not saying the U.S. Constitution is perfect, at least we don't have to rewrite the entire damned thing every generation, regardless of what Jefferson suggested. That plus we have only added on 27 amendments in over 200 years, though at least one more should be in their(ERA). Most of them add no more than a paragraph to the document.
