dk...not withstanding your definitions of such terms as "unreasonable", "speedy", "excessive", etc, the Constitution, by intent of the framers or not, is vague in many of its articles and amendments and subject to interpretation.
The framers were wise enough to include a process for adjudication and not just a process for amendment.
Neither process will please all of the people all of the time, but far better than no Constitution at all.
