[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 2017834, member: 18225"] The process for Amendments, for starters. Is your assertion that we should slave ourselves to a 210 year old document, written in a wholly different time, and that there is no recourse for change? If so, that's fine. I don't agree. I think the Founders were wise enough to create a tripartite government, with checks and balances, etc. We can argue Hamilton vs. Jefferson all day long, but there are mechanisms in the Constitution for changes, simple fact. To your original question, "Where does the Constitution State"... There are many things the Constitution doesn't describe explicitly, and that's the point. The Constitution is a balance between the 'States' and the (Federal) 'Government'. If a thing isn't in the Constitution, that doesn't mean it's not a thing. It's 2016, come on now. [/QUOTE]
