The constitution is the foundation of our government, like the UK's constitution deciding the roles of the monarchy and parliament. It's the basis that your government build off of.

Ok you need a starting point but surely you build off it according to modern politics and society?
For instance the second amendment, why is everyone so pissy in just updating it. Maybe make it easier to understand and more specific. 
Or do they protest because they prefer it to be vague?
