  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).

Yes, it is. The US is so proud at being the first modern democracy - but the flaws of being a prototype show. Every other country on Earth could learn from the flaws of the US political system, but they are more or less stuck in the 18^th^ century.

The US constitution was an absolute marvel of forward thinking when it was written.

Sadly over the centuries it has been turned into a holy relic that should be worshipped while the meaning of it has been lost.
