Thank you for this. I totally agree with what you’ve said. I didn’t know that the founders, or Jefferson, thought the constitution needed updated every generation. Somehow that part got missed by many.
Whether a Constitutional Convention (to rework/rewrite) every generation would actually work is another matter! But the Founders were certainly aware that they were not creating documents that would last in their original state for all time. Now it's all become quite ossified.
