If you could delete just one sentence from the Constitution, which (if any) would it be?

Question

...and were it to be none, why?

Answer 1

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed"

should have said the "right of the members of the militia" which I think is what they meant.

Answer 2

None... first and foremost it is an historical document. Secondly, the Constitution was created perfectly in that an Amendment could be made to repeal another. For instance, prohibition.

Answer 3

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

Answer 4

I would take a close look at the Electoral College.
Communication has changed since the 18th century.
There ought to be a way to prevent electors from changing the results of a popular election.

Answer 5

none, because its set in stone and out country has been runned by it for years before you and i were even thought of. if it aint broke dont fix it. dont think there is something wrong with it, just because idiots politicians cannot follow it.

Answer 6

Separation of Church and State......wait....it doesn't exist, just made up. Our Forefathers had great insight when writing the Constitution and it is pretty darn good the way it is.

Answer 7

There is nothing I would change about the Constitution.

Bush and his buddies however, don't bother changing it. They just disregard it.

Answer 8

Power of the President to declare emergency powers.

Answer 9

"We the people" should be changed to "We the rich and elite".
