The men who wrote the thing aren't alive today, so if we feel the need to change anything, that is completely up to us.

We have the ability to change the constitution should we so desire. Having said that I am a firm believer in originalism during constitutional interpretation. We shouldn't try to ascribe new meaning to the document based on popular opinion. Rather if we don't like something that is in it we should change it.
