That's a given.
What I meant was that if there is such a great debate on any aspect of the Constitution or one or more of the Amendments, then isn't this indicative of something being out of step?
This is what the constitutional amendments are for. This is why women and "negroes" can vote.
But change is a difficult process for such a conservative nation.
