This process is called an "amendment", and this amendment was only to be finalized by .75% will of the states (We the People).
This process worked just great, as blacks were allowed to be considered human instead of just a piece of property, women were made just as equal as men in the governmental process...etc. Now the seculars claim the right to evolve our constitution just by words of their mouth instead of words actually found in the constitution, by falsely declaring that some imagined power of Judicial Review allows them to ignore the constitution in favor of prior opinion. Thus, they in effect made non-effect the true power of this nation the... representation of its people by the only authorized branch of government to make new law or change the constitution. The Legislative. And its all due to "we the people" allowing our legal system to be hi-jacked by the pragmatism of secular humanism instead of actually making them adhere to the true process on which this nation was founded...a very strong belief in the transcending authority of the creator over man and all forms of government.
Thus, another query that went unanswered by you, why was the "Blackstone's Commentaries on the Law" shelved in favor of "legal precedence"? An oxymoron in and by itself sense this Reference Book of Law was found sitting "legal precedence" from 1776-1920. Its almost as absurd as the Roe v Wade nonsense that "ignored" historical precedence of 200 years to falsely cling to an amendment that was created to empower the the rights of people instead of the right to legislate from the bench. Its seems, the Supreme Court plays fast and loose with their opinions, they use the constitution when it suits their agenda and ignore and declare "the power of Judicial Review" when no words are to be found in the constitution that they can twist and contort to their political ideology of human secularism. And all this constitution amending performed not by elected officials, but by political appointees, that have lifetime appointments and have no oversight whatsoever....as I said, the best of both worlds. Thats why the Judicial Appointment process as turned into such a circus of lies and hypocrisy. For they know where the true power rests in this morphed socialized republic, and it sure as hell is not possessed by "we the people", as was intended.
And as far as the "THEORY" of evolution, just where in the constitution is it made illegal not to accept any idea as fact? Does it really matter how many accept this false science as actual truth? If indeed it were truth, we would have the law of evolution. That's exactly why the founding fathers demanded that each state remain a republic and not be allowed to morph into a "mobocracy". So, the majority could not run roughshod over others with only their "beliefs". I have no problem whatsoever with "YOU" preferring to accept this "IDEA" as fact, but what right to you have in imposing this "IDEA" on the public at large as if it were fact, and this is very much demonstrated in all our public schools.

I didn't answer because I thought most of what you ramble on about as irrelevant.
The only ultimate 'prior opinion' judges defer to in
Constitutional issues are the words of the Constitution. The ultimate power of the people to elect representatives to draw and pass legislation is retained as judges don't write law, they only interpret it. Interpretation isn't the same thing as amending. Interpretation is merely the process whereby judges review a challenge of legislature and whether or not it's Constitutional
not drafting new law; surly if there was no power to interpretation then the legislature could draft any unconstitutional resolution they like without repercussion. The inherent language of the words of the Constitution themselves connote an interpretive aspect (even the founders did it [e.g. Alexander Hamilton's interpretation of the necessary and proper clause as Secretary of the Treasury in order to establish a national bank under George Washington's administration]). Therefore, ironically, the
original intent was for interpretation.
Secular humanism and evolution hasn't anything to do with anything.
I never stated it was illegal to deny evolution. But of course I'm sure you're used to non-sequiturs considering you think complexity means the Earth is six thousand years old and there exists a big bearded imaginary friend. I'm sorry if you feel that I'm trying to impose reality on you, but regardless, this is completely irrelevant.
