The US constitution is an antiquated document written by men who enslaved others. It contains no explicit right to privacy or protection from government surveillance. It does not establish a secular state (only the right to worship as one chooses, which is different) and it features an overly broad freedom of speech that facilitates the spread of misinformation and lies. it chooses the president by an indirect mechanism and it nowhere guarantees the right to vote.

It needs to be rewritten completely but this is impossible because it is treated as a sacred text.



The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
