But you're obviously wiser than our founding fathers.

Jesus didn't write the bible, the church did. So there were MANY authors.

Well that could even be so, I have the benefit of hindsight. It is interesting that 120 years after your constitution was written, it was used as a model in my nation but a right to bear arms wasn't included, they had already seen your civil war and a few indications of rebellion and insurrection in their own backyard and backed off on that one. They also didn't see the need to let the populace do whatever seemed good to them at the time, so the idea that substance abuse could be legalised in the constitution hadn't occurred to them either
