constitution through amendments, however, consider what the Federal government does today. There is no more need to create amendments. An obvious example is the prohibition of drugs; why was it that prohibition and repealing of prohibition was done through amendments yet drugs are not? Simply put, the federal government has located methods to circumvent the need for constitutional amendments specifically because passing an amendment requires such a large majority. The powers of the government have become concentrated within the federal level. When the federal government denies states funding for highways or other infrastructure because they refuse to adhere to the federal laws, or when a state like Colorado legalizes marijuana and the federal government vows to crack down, then you no longer have states' rights. Yes the founding fathers were very worried about a large and powerful federal government, such as was stated by the 10th Amendment...Limits the powers of the federal government to those delegated to it by the Constitution. Now lawyers have come out and twisted the constitution to basically give the federal government unlimited power (and don’t tell me they don’t, because now our dear President can order the assassination of anyone that he deems dangerous). The USA Constitution was the single most important document in history (to me), yet it has failed the test of time (it still has a chance, but doesn’t look good). I never feared the government when I lived in the USA, but when I go back now, I’m worried that I’ll be thrown in jail for simply living in a “terrorist” region. I no longer can trust the government to guarantee me a judicial process. I can be locked up without a trial. I can be condemned to death without a trial. I have no rights to privacy.
