They were pretty cool enlightenment thinkers who created the first constitutional republic and were able to muscle out the British Empire. It’s pretty remarkable.
Lots of US people will explain to you that the constitution and its amendments are immutable. And when you ask them to repeat that slowly, they’ll just say it louder because you’re the slow one.
I’m trying to figure out what the heck you’re saying. You think that no one thinks this is true:
the constitution and its amendments are immutable.
I guarantee you double your money back that there are people who think this. They don’t know what an amendment is, or the verb “to amend”. They just know there’s at least 2 of them and they can only be changed by god.
Yeah, I know. Now if anyone used their actual intellectual accomplishments as arguments instead of the simple fact that they existed, that might be interesting.
Depends on who you’re talking about and what part of their life you’re looking at.
Is it the George Washington who chopped the cherry tree, the George Washington who dressed his slaves in potato sacks, or the George Washington who declined to be king and set the standard of the presidency? There are a lot of George’s in there who are deserving of vastly different levels of reverence.

Literally no one thinks that. It’s immutable, without more amendments. The point is you can’t just ignore what you don’t like

I wonder if there’s some sort of irony in there about immutable, “perfect” laws
