Nothing convinced me more that the Constitution is meant to change and grow with us than reading the arguments had over ratifying it in the first place. Not a single man who supported it would be ok with only 15 changes to it in 200+ years since the 12th amendment.

When the Constitution was up for ratification, a critic who had rejected it and left Philadelphia, had this to say about the flaws in the construction of the presidency. Now Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is the only protection we have against this prediction of monarchy becoming true.
