Will, are you familiar with the 13th amendment? You know, the one which was enacted using one of the methods outlined in article 5 of the constitution, required ratification by 27 states I believe (2/3rds at the time) and abolished slavery in 1865.
Do you have a problem with the perscribed methods for "changing" the constitution?
What does "helping people" mean? Can that have limits?
