 Practical Freedom - The "Constitution" Delusion - Part I
All 50 "states," which are members of the "United States" pursuant to the Constitution, are all "new States" or "statuses"; including the original 13 state-names; surreptitiously appropriated from the 13 States in perpetual Union.
The Constitution does not act directly on citizens of the States in perpetual Union except on those citizens who voluntarily or tacitly consented to be subject to its terms.
The Preamble of the Constitution acknowledges the Union of States which existed prior to its execution, and implies that the pre-existing Union was perfect.

 Proposing an Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to Provide a Procedure by Which the States May Propose ...
Constitutional amendment should have a nonextendable deadline for ratification by the states so as to ensure that there is a contemporaneous consensus by Congress and the states that the amendment is desirable.
The Constitution moreover equally enables the general and the state governments to originate the amendment of errors as they may be pointed out by the experience on one side or on the other''.
As currently written, Article V of the Constitution provides two techniques for amending the Constitution: An amendment can be proposed either by two-thirds of both Houses of Congress or by a convention called by two-thirds of the states.

 Amendment XII: Senate, Amendment to the Constitution
It is upon these principles our Constitution is founded; it is for these words that the provision is made in the Constitution itself for its own amendment; and it is not compatible with reason, or with the principles of the Constitution, to commit anything to capricious fortune, in which reason and human rights are concerned.
There is another view of the Constitution which has a reference to the general subject before us; and that is, the caution exhibited with respect to the introduction of amendments.
The article in the Constitution establishing the mode of electing a Chief Magistrate, and which is now proposed to be altered, was undoubtedly one of the most difficult parts of the whole at its formation.

 We the People... The Citizen and the Constitution / High School Level
The development of this text was originally funded and cosponsored by the Commission on the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution.
Because the Constitution gives Congress the power to make any laws it thinks are "necessary and proper" to carry out its responsibilities, there is no adequate limitation on its powers.
In these sentiments...I agree with this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us...[and] I doubt...whether any other Convention we can obtain, may be able to make a better Constitution.
