Do you think the US Constitution is important?

The United States Constitution is in my opinion the most important document laying out the formation and responsibilities of governing EVER WRITTEN.

To read it is a privilege, to study it an honour, and to live by it's spirit a duty.

I grew up mainly in Canada, and I am a proud dual U.S. Citizen. I think the Constitution should be required reading, and required study in all High Schools.

The Constitution, the preamble, the Bill of Rights contained within the Constitution itself, amendments etc are not only profoundly important, but are beautifully written. I think it is only too bad that those running for representative offices do not have to be tested in their knowledge, and importantly, their understanding of not only what the Founders had intended, but in the wisdom of the Amendments that followed.

The Constitution is almost a sacred document, and yet in theinfinite wisdom of the Founders it is a living document, subject to change by your grandchildren's generation as her society, and the culture in which she will live undergoes change.

Sorry if this sounds preachy, but as someone who has grown up mainly outside the U.S., but has spent loads of time here, I am a huge fan of the Constitution, and in our collective interest in upholding it.

It should never be trampled on, its relevance negated, or its rights and spirit negated by anyone who wishes to act as King, and undermine any one of us, or any group among us.


Thus, the Constitution supersedes political parties. It encompasses all of us, regardless of politics, and we should put it ahead of politics. It is as relevant as we make it. And often, it' is relevant in spite of us, which is incredible.

Yes. I'm not a fan of being loyal to a party; especially when they aren't loyal to the people they're supposed to represent.

The Constitution is the foundation that our country was built on and I will never stand by and let it die for my party. But then again, my party is for the Constitution...

The Constitution is far more important than political parties!

The US Constitution is important, as it indicates the intentions of the founders and provides a framework on which to expand and constantly reinvent this country.

Like the Bible, it's a document. Words written by wise people to impart information. It's not the infallible, immutable word of God and it was never intended to be.

It's the road map for the birth of a nation. It's alive, breathing, interpretable, negotiable.

The one thing the writers of the US Constitution NEVER did, and what hasn't been done without notable failed exceptions, is introduce amendments designed restrict the personal freedoms or individuals or groups. Our country and its text have always remained open in the spirit of freedom and the exercise of freedom without sane restriction.

The US Constitution is not a rulebook. It's a road map.

Without the US constitution (in the US, at least), there would be little point in having political parties, as there would be no rule of law, no guaranteed freedoms and rights, etc.

So I think the constitution is far more important than political parties.

The Constitution is important for Americans. Too bad the current American president thinks he is above it.

The Constitution is important. However equally important is a forgotten term. Patriotism

I think common sense is important

What are you suggesting? Are you referring to when Obama used it all those times as toilet paper and the dems applauded him?

I believe it is important. And I think that if you place partisan loyalty first, no matter the party, you're committing un-indicted treason.

It's more important to be loyal to the constitution.

Absolutely. It's our foundation, our rights, our laws. It's everything.

It's very important, yet so few know what's actually written.

It's important even though no one reads it.

Hell yeah it's important.
