Call me unamerican, but I'm not one to believe that the constitution is absolutely perfect. It's a document, written by men, no different than any other in the world, with the exception of it's believed importance. There are many things that are put in there on purpose, that may not have even been what the founding fathers wanted, simply because it would not come to be if it wasn't in there - the role of president as a prime example - it was put in for the (newly-adopted) Americans that supported the king and/or a monarchy. Don't forget, as well, that times change. The problems that existed in the Americas in the 17-1800s are much different than the ones we face today.
