    Default Poll: would you vote for the constitution AS IS today?

    Today Would you vote for the Constitution as written?
    With the 10 amendments?

    Yes,
    With edits to the 3/5 persons/ slavery , women and voting for the vice president.

    But frankly I can see the problems the anti-federalist had with it. But it's still better than anything else available I think.

    Why would you wipe out the other 17 amendments?
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    Not wiping them out just not including them in this poll question, i didn't want to muddy the waters for anyone with any peculiar amendment issues.

    Fair enough, id vote for it, with all the amendments. And voting fir it would include repeating powers like the patriot act and tsa scanners etc.

    Where's the "HELL, YES!!!" button?

    So the question is, would we vote for the constitution as it was written, but not exactly?

    I've no problem with the Constitution, only how it's being perverted by all 3 branches and the dissolving of the federalist system within.

    Did I just vote yes WITH all the precedents that have been set or WITHOUT all the precedents that have been set?
