不是说这个内容不好，而是说format.
American Constitution 被公认为是史上最天才最优秀的设计（之一）。你要是想改，得一一指出 1）那一段细节会导致什么问题，2）你的改动。
在计算机领域里就是说，你得提供 "DIFF" (with comment), 而不是发一篇 new doc.
而且修也就是加amendment, 不是改原文
只会让非法移民变成合法移民，表面上非法移民没有了，都变合法了。非法移民的问题就解决了。
但是结果一样，解决不了这些人带来的治安问题，文化冲击等等。
修改宪法也是一样。
历史上所有的独裁者，纳粹，共产主义者，破坏民主，夺取政权的理由，都是号称集权改革
这才是真的不折腾
Catch exception 比较好玩，计算机里目的是为体面容错，不灾难性终止程序运行。借用的这里像个噱头，意义不明，甚至会被解读成掩盖错误，掩盖丑闻。宪法应该是世界上最明白无误的文字
还有，宪法不肯定所有权力是神授予人民，人民再委托给政府，宪法就会成为无本之木
