It is amazing, and if you look at american history, and watch how the further we get from the original idea of common law and move towards what we have now, you will see where all of the social and economic problems come from, and what can be done about them. It is definitely worth your time.

You right on ganon! I might add to start with the Magna Cartaas it is the document that "inspired" the Constitution.
But I think that maybe the Bill of Rights, while advanced in it's day, is incomplete and needs to be updated.
