[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 5312347, member: 63706"] Agreed. Yeah, the way the constitution and laws are interpreted relies heavily on prevailing thought at the time. The 14th amendment was completely unnecessary with the proper interpretation of the constitution. The 13th was as well, with the same interpretation, but when you have precedent allowing for things like slavery, that can give people an argument for interpreting the constitution their way. Precedent as a doctrine is neither allowed for by the constitution, nor can it override the constitution. Agreed. Past a certain point, what the founders intended is irrelevant, and I really don't like it when people use their version of what the founders intended as an argument for their own pov. [/QUOTE]
