they're right, in a way...

[Matt Molnar]

There isn't really anything controversial in the original Constitution...nothing about sexuality, ethnicity or race. Gender, okay, they refer to "men" but in most instances that means everyone. The Bill of Rights mentions these subjects only when it is expanding rights.

The pure brilliance behind our Constitution and the Bill of Rights is how general it was written. It doesn't mention specific races, religions...etc. The broadness of its language meant it allowed the U.S to grow and adapt to our changing culture, it was specific and narrow chances are it wouldn't have lasted this long. I wonder if this Publisher even took the time to read the Constitution...
