I will not admit that, simply because none of their writings indicated that they cared. Their whole intent was to limit the federal government no matter the 'modern times'. It is why they implemented an amendment process to be initiated by the people. There is no possible way that after experiencing the abuses of a central government, they would imply that they would allow a central government to change the constitution without the peoples express permission via the amendment process. NO POSSIBLE WAY!
