Thankfully, I don't need nor require your respect.
The declaration of independence and the US Constitution are fascinating because of their contradictions.
At the same time,they manage to be arguably the most noble political documents ever written AS WELL AS the the most fatuous and disingenuous.
I think you're right Chatty; just pieces of paper. Their power lies in their ideas and those who enact and defend them.
Sadly, like many governments (including mine) US governments have a long tradition of ignoring bits of the constitution whenever it has seen fit.
