Does It Matter What the Founders of the U.S.A. Intended?

People debate what the founders of this country intended in the constitution. Does it really matter? It was amended soon after it was ratified. The founders of this country did not want a true democracy. They wanted the country to be run by white men. Does this make it right? No. Whether or not the founders of this country were Christian is not what matters today. What is important today is the diversity of the population of the country today. This country has been becoming a democracy, but it has a long way to go. Citizens of American Samoa, Guam and Puerto Rico, territories of the U.S.A., are not allowed to vote in federal elections. They can serve in the military for this country, but these territories are not represented in Congress and they cannot vote in the presidential election. The reason for this is a racist law that was meant to be temporary. I guess the intentions of the founders of this country can be forgotten in some circumstances. Remember "No taxation without representation?" People use the U.S. Constitution and the Bible in similar ways. Usually people say that something is unconstitutional when it is something they do not like. As mentioned above, the constitution can be changed. The constitution is not perfect. Does that mean that I think it should be ignored? No, but it should not be treated like a holy relic. Some people want to use the constitution to back up their views when it suits them and the Bible when it fits their views. The laws of this country are still based on the former not the latter. Even though the founders of this country wanted to limit who could vote does not make this right. All people have the right to have their voice heard.
