Why don't they write a new one?

Just draft a new one.

Because their entire country would fall into horrible civil war immediately. It's going to fall eventually because their system of governance is unsustainable, but at the moment that archaic piece of papyrus is the only thing keeping that bloated mess going.

A constitution is pointless if it can be changed.

Because the old was so shit that they realise they are incapable of making a new one, so they don't try

What exactly needs to be changed/rewritten, pray tell.

What matters Is the quorum

I'd delete the 14th Amendment myself; it's been consistently abused and interpreted to mean something it doesn't.

The language of the constitution is unclear, because it's old and ambiguous. SCOTUS practically makes laws. You can write a new with better language.

^This. The 14th Amendment was only and only intended to give citizenship to ex-slaves after the Civil War, it was not a license for illegal anchor babies.

People will always try to interpret things differently in order to get what they want, no matter how clear something is

I'd argue futher that it was meant only for white slaves, you have to keep in context, blacks were not considered human until 1960s so the legislators probably meant it for white slaves

>believing what you read online
Must suck to be a sheep user

I know, but it's easier to interpret newer texts

>a bunch of oligarchs don't want to pay the bill for Britain saving their investments

>oligarchs become even more richer

Only poor people complain about rich people

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, nor of prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

In 18th century language, an "establishment" of religion referred to a denomination or a church. It meant that the government could not for example openly endorse the Catholic Church or give it money. It was never meant to mean that your high school football team can't pray before a game.

spoken like a true Anglo capitalist

Are you American?
No?
Shut up then.
Germanistan has 100 problems to solve before talking shit about America

And yet, you don't see the ECJ forcing gay marriage in all EU countries because "hurr durr everyone equal".

The Founders themselves, who actually wrote the darn thing, couldn't even agree on it. Early on there was the divide between the Hamiltonians who said "Whatever the Constitution does not expressly prohibit is allowed." and the Jeffersonians who said "Whatever the Constitution does not expressly allow is not allowed."

this

kill americans

t. commie

based

They also couldn't stop the formation of political parties or the Supreme Court being used as a political football.

Are you dumb?
What does that have to do with the ECJ?

Dogma doesn't allow them to. Much like muslims and Sharia Law
>Trust me, americans aren't huge cocksuckers.

A constitution is nothing more or less than the basis for all other laws. If you elevate it into anything else you're a retard.

What does the ECJ have to do with the Constitution?

ECJ and SCOTUS comparison.
Tbh ECJ pushed the idea that EU law is above national law, although it's not written anywhere.

This. A constitution becomes a straight jacket if it can’t be changed.

>it's literally perfect in every way shape and form
then why does it have amendments lmao

The ECJ can only use the EU treaties for its decisions, treaties that are the fundations, or the constitution of the EU, just like the SCOTUS can only use the US constitution for its decision, and not states laws.
Of course, neither EU treaties or US constitution mention gay marriage, and yet the SCOTUS managed to force it in all US states, thanks to an absurd interpretation.
Which is also why rightfully calls it "a political football".
I guess you just really are dumb.

Because the Founders knew that the times would change and unforeseen circumstances would come up, so the Constitution could be modified as need be.

Then we get to this argument
Is everything not prohibited allowed, or is everything not allowed prohibited?

>Of course, neither EU treaties or US constitution mention gay marriage, and yet the SCOTUS managed to force it in all US states, thanks to an absurd interpretation

Obama is gone now and Trump said social issues are a state and local problem, not a Federal one, so...

but if it was literally perfect it wouldn't need amendments lol

>Is everything not prohibited allowed, or is everything not allowed prohibited?

As I'd said, even the Founders themselves couldn't decide or agree on this.

sounds like a bunch of retards

Why are you so antagonistic? Are you going to act like Italy has never had a ruler who knew everything and did everything right?

For example, Thomas Jefferson was firmly in the "everything not allowed is prohibited" camp yet he also agreed to the Louisiana Purchase despite the Constitution not giving him any authorization for it.

uh?

This is the flag that elected Angela Merkel multiple times in a row, right?

I have to admit, I really like the way Americans hold up the little they have in history.
I like that very much

Don't be such a buttmad desertbong

How many times in a row was it?

>country whose history consists of totally destroying Europe in catastrophic wars several times

they have a separated course at school for american history from what i got
they still have to reply to me about how much time they dedicate to the world history, in particular about french revolution
i suspect they are scared to say the truth

Youre the flag with the cuckstamp right lol

That above all else. The 22nd Amendment means the president can only serve two terms. Would that Germany did same.

But we've also murdered six million Jews

desu most Americans believe the World was created 6000 years ago.

That was an Austria, the same people who spent the last 1000 years before 1871 dominating the German region. Don't take the credit

5 years ago it was 7 million 10 years ago it was 8 15 years ago it was 9 etc etc
Wake up, Han

>What are amendments
That being said, the constitution as it is is pretty solid it's just the people who are supposed to follow it are retarded. It's pretty ingenious to have gotten us this far tho without us becoming a dictatorship and is more than most cunts can say about there constitution. We've had ours longer than any other nation that isn't a microstate and that being said it's pretty solid.

are you an american on vacation?

>tfw in 30 years Germans will be blamed about creating more jews during the holocaust

No, I just don't like people who antagonize based solely on a flag

I unironically believe this they are going to claim that the Germans stole the money off their newborn babies and nobody will dare to question it

that doesnt explain you being a retard

How am I being a retard? What did I say wrong?

>It's pretty ingenious to have gotten us this far tho without us becoming a dictatorship
No need to become a dictatorship when you’ve been a corporate oligarchy for your entire existence.

hows that feeling of getting buttblasting doing for ya

The US Constitution inspired the French Revolution a year after it was put into gear.

Your mother is getting buttblasted by Ngubu so ask her

Germany doesn't have a president.

we do, he has more power than the chancellor aswell

Chancellor. You know what I mean.

She's not an exective branche on his own though unlike the US president.

It's like saying that Britain is a dictatorship for being ruled by an unelected person.

No we don't actually.

AFAIK the German constitution prohibits parties with less than 15% of the vote from being represented in the Bundestag, although this had the unfortunate side effect of making no challenge possible to the corrupt establishment parties like the CDU.

Pretty sure that's the Turkish constitution, if they didn't raise it to 50%.

Seething

Based and redpilled.

>It's like saying that Britain is a dictatorship for being ruled by an unelected person.

I don't remember specifically but I thought I recall hearing that British law grants female monarchs less power than male ones.

The US president has more powers than the presidents of most countries where it's often a ceremonial position, but nothing beats France where the president is a virtual dictator.

It's 5% which puts them in line with pretty much all of Europe.
We are the only country in the world I think without an electoral treshold and our parliament is a mess complete with Animal rights, Muslim and reformed protestant parties.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_threshold
May isn't a monarch.
Regardless the mistake you are making is that both May and Merkel are mere extensions of their governments and don't form an executive branch of their own, whereas Trump and Marcon actually do. Hence the latter have more laws applying to their specific position since they actually are in a position of power. May and Merkel only rule by coalition.

5%
he isnt necessarily but every law that gets voted by the Bundestag (in which Merkel is just one of 709 votes) has to be signed by him in order to pass

>May isn't a monarch.
Obviously I meant the 90 year old inbred hag.

Because us constitution is amazing too bad modern America is unconstitutional lol

There is no electoral threshold in the US Constitution. In fact if you looked at that Wikipedia page, it clearly shows what countries do and don't have them.

>There is no electoral threshold in the US Constitution.
......
Are you for real? The US uses FPTP which doesn't allow for electoral tresholds. Only countries with proportional representation have a need for an electoral treshold since FPTP ends up with 2 parties anyway.

>a german makes a extremely bare bones simple minded version of history to push his dumb narrative

I know that. Of course the two parties may as well be coalitions anyway.

he's not all that wrong tho, at least on the oligarchy part
doesnt mean only them got it good

>No need to become a dictatorship when you’ve been a corporate oligarchy for your entire existence.
Find a country in the world where there aren't rich elite lobbyists running the government and get back to me.

he is. some of the founding fathers died penniless.
