The American Constitution is the longest standing implemented constitutional document in the world. Clearly they have done something right. The American Constitution isn't optimized for perfect social harmony. Its designed to work and stand the test of time. The New Zealand constitution is only 33 years old - which is peanuts. If it doesn't stand the test of time then your opinion really doesn't hold water does it?

Brandenberg v Ohio dates back to 1969. That was only 50 years ago.

Say more. You haven't made a point. The American Constitution was ratified June 21, 1788. Thats 231 years ago.
