STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS CONSTITUTION

If the Founding Fathers had some of today's cool they might have had a brainstorm session and their stream of consciousness might have sounded something like . . . . 

What's is this Congress? What's that President? What's the Supreme Court? What's the deal with states? If we have to -how can we fix this thing? OK,OK, go ahead, choose your own god. We do affirm all these things. Congress dudes, you can't have a raise without the people saying so. Pray to whomever you want. Say what you want. Write what you want. Hang out together if you want. Complain as you want. 
Sure, have a gun! And you never have to let the army into your house. Hey, I'm not doing anything wrong, so you can't look at my stuff! If you accuse me, I can keep my lips zipped if I want. And you can't go accusing me twice.Hey, if you're going to say those things about me, where's my lawyer? And where's the jury? Wow, that sentence you gave is sooo harsh! Hey, you can't just make up new rules in order to crush my rights. And what does the state have to say about it? What if someone attacks the state? No slaves. No, no nevermore. We're not counting those darn Indians though. 
You gotta be a grown up male or you don't count in anything. 
OK, now you can be a black male and vote. Surprise - all you working stiffs, you gotta pay taxes now. No booze anymore, baby! OK, OK, you women can vote now. What'll we do if the President's dead? OK, you can drink again (as if you weren't already). Want to be President forever? No, baby. Twice is enough. Didn't pay your taxes? Go ahead, vote anyway. 
What the heck do we do if we need a new VP? Now we're sending your 18 year old ass to war, so we guess we can let you vote too.
