I don’t think there’s any shame in recognizing the Constitution falls short of adequately protecting human rights. It’s become a quasi-religious article of faith that the Constitution cannot be improved upon. If it began with the Bill of Rights, and made property secondary to individual rights, we’d probably be living in a socialist state!

It was a big step up from King George. But yes, it was far from perfect.
