Constitution is the foundation of the United States without it we have no rules and regulations to live by, nothing to stem laws from. I feel that the U.S. Constitution is very important to anyone one who lives in the United States or who has come to live in the United States to understand.

To me that makes it seem utterly impossible to use a document that was ratified by not fifty states (that didn't all even technically exist) but only nine. The difference in the population in itself seems reason enough to revise and-or reconsider our Constitution.
