The contructionist non-contructionist debate goes back to the period immediately following the ratification of the original document. The true meaning of the constitution has been argued from the beginning of this country and continues today. That is why we have multiple political parties. People just can't or won't agree as to what the founders meant. To some it is a religion; to others, a way of life; while others simply take it all for granted. One thing is for sure without it this nation wouldn't be the great nation that she is. If we screw it up, this nation, as we know it, ceases to exist.
