Surprised?! Do you read the press or any history?
Surprised other countries haven't adopted the American Constitution wholesale. Much of world is run by tyrants, w/ little hope for liberty.

Thank you. It hadn't occurred to me to read.

Welcome!

Curious time to praise the Constitution: Today's cultural rift is good evidence that monolithic documents from another era require change.
-
Like democracy. Imperfect, but the best to date.
-
I could safely argue that Canadians are more free today than Americans are. Certainly a brilliant document, but it's lost its shine.
-
Completely disagree. Canada has neither 1st nor 2nd amendment protections.
-
Without which, the rest are meaningless.
-
-
-
perhaps the rules themselves are far less important than fidelity to them.
-
I've been told the German post ww2 constitution is the American constitution if they had a redo. But I've never seen a great write up
-
Japan too, to interesting results (e.g. copy/pasted Blaine Amendment, designed to prevent states from funding Catholic schools).
-
(For added hilarity the US state amendments are under national Constitutional pressure and may be repealed.)
-
(This would leave Japan the last place they exist, protecting it from 19th century Irish immigrants.)
-
Overall more good than harm, though.
-
Totally; just intellectually interesting trivia. (Plus I have to use my degree for something.)

-
A constitution by itself doesn't work. Cultural norms are needed to support it.
-
Of course. But you have to start somewhere.
-
-
other countries don't have 2nd amendment
-
-
Most new countries model their constitution off of the Canadian Constitution, which arguably works better than the American one.
-
Further, contra that article, the US constitution DOES protect discrimination based on race and sex, as the Supreme Court has ruled.
-
Protect against*, rather.
