When does a law go too far?

[farplaner]

Why should the majority of us know it? It's an antiquated document that doesn't (in many ways...with some obvious exceptions) make sense in the modern world.

Seeing as it is the law of this country, knowing it would be a very good idea. And can yuo explain how it's "antiquated" and "doesn't make sense in the modern world"?

Damn it! Can't I be cynical without having to provide evidence!?

To answer your question: no, not really....

Generally speaking, though, I was referring to items such as the ever-popular "right to bear arms" amendment. It may or may not have made sense at the time, but the thought is ridiculous in today's society.

My point is that times change, societies change, and while some of the guiding principles behind some of the ideas behind laws transcend time, much of any legislature written in any given time period will, at some point, become meaningless.
