On September 17, 1787, the members of the Continental Congress signed the Constitution for the United States of America and sent it to the states for ratification. If I were to review the "State of the Constitution" in 2021, I would have to say it is not good, not good at all. While this Constitution for the United States is the oldest national constitution in the world, second only to the Constitution of Massachusetts in age, decades of ignorance and apathy by the American people has reduced the supreme law of the land to an anachronism, a throw back to a time when rights, freedom, and liberty were important to them. Today, Americans seem more interested in being taken care of than actually exercising their rights. As a matter of fact, the American people have shown they no longer believe in unalienable rights, only fulfilling their own narcissistic desires. Does this mean the Constitution is dead? Only if the American people allow it.
