There is discussion, but that discussion already has a thread. Why did we need a new one?

amendment 2 - the right to bear arms. id change this to the fact youre allowed to bear arms, but that we would limit the type of arms youre allowed to own. id also restrict the ammunition that is made

amendment 4 - search and seizure. if you run from the police when asked a question, you just lost your right. if you do something suspicious, you just lost your right. in order though to protect from abuses, cops would be required to wear head cams (think the glasses they use on the prank shows) if the audio/video isnt quality, evidence from seizure would be inadmissable

amendment 5 - trial and punishment, compensation for takings. double jeopardy could be applied in some cases, such as if a witness goes missing etc. also, i do not like the fact if your found not guilty in a criminal case that you can then be charged in a civil case (think OJ). so you can only be sued civilly if found guilty in the criminal

amendment 8 - cruel and unusual punishment. i have no problem with the death penalty and think it should be used alot more than it is. if your DNA matches at the scene of a crime, and you are found guilty or if you claim at the time you were insane and are charged with death penalty you no longer have the right to a retrial and will be executed within 6 months

amendment 12 - choosing the president and vice president. the electoral college is done. majority rules on this.

amendment 22 - Presidential term limits. abolished

Wow. So you don't worry about a demagogue/cult of personality kind of thing?

Do you think a constitution whose amendment 4 relies on technology and batteries would work out? :shake:

the 2nd Amendment doesn't say you're allowed to bear nuclear weapons, or even AKs. This is unnecessary and these restrictions are already well within the rights of the government.
