Okay, so I've never understood this widespread belief among many Americans that the constitution is somehow the single, unchangeable, pervasively cohesive document regarding the country. It is a founding document, but it is not the only one. It seems like people think the country should exist exactly as stated in 1788. Moreover it seems like a purely historical document given how things are today.
I fully believe that there are many unnecessary secrets kept from the public, and that the ruling groups are using this as a screen for their financial and power activities. I also believe that there are really things that should be kept secret from the public, which range from security weaknesses, technologies being developed, and actions being planned/undertaken.
The real problem seems to be the types of people that control things today.
