- Yes!

government and decentralisation (required do to diversity)
- Text has adapted to changes in American society

usually prevented ill-conceived amendments
- Enumerated rights and freedoms have been protected

adaptable - 'interpretative amendment'

- No!
- Formal amendment is very difficult, even with majority support

- Some parts are outdated (electoral college, second
amendment, congress' power to declare war etc.)

the Constitution institutionalises gridlock -
bipartisanship has been replaced by hyperpartiasnship
