To be fair, their constitution was so bad, they got a contingent election on the 3rd presidential election, and had to fix the "electors casting two votes" issue.

Also, wtf is a supreme court only needing senate confirmation? Why the fuck does the house not have a say? I thought "Big State Small State" balance, seems like small states have more say in supreme court justices. (oh yea, seems like a feature, not a bug, just as the founders intended)

Also, why is the number of seats not defined, I mean why have courts if any president could potentially just pack the court?

Also second amendment is so stupid. Worst amendment ever. Where the fuck is my god-given right to own a doomsday device? Why is it not included in the second amendment? Ya fucking tyrant. The country is already ruined form the start, fucking Federalists ruining everything. What next, trampling on my right to own a planet destroyer device?

Because the Constitution wasn't a gift from God but group of smartish guys coming together to rewrite an even worse document while having little in practical experience in how to design a republic with a democratic base.

Why the hell is "you" spelled "U" and capitalized while the rest of the text is written with full grammar and punctuation?

It's more like leaving the country to your bratty ignorant teenaged son .... and the keys to an aircraft carrier full of modern weapons, nuclear weapons and aircraft with no instructions on what to do with it all.
