Considering the literacy rate of the time it would hardly have been possable to have been written by the common man. Besides, would you really want to read a document prepared by a common man? Hel, I would not want to read a document prepared by most of the students at my college.
I completely agree with you in that respect, though the constitution was still way too elitistic even for its time (property qualifications for voting were unnecessary, for instance). I was attacking the point that the constitution was of and for the people, regardless of whether it should be.

And if you want to correctly spell logical fallicies all you have to do is follow the link in my sig.
Actually, there are enough fallacy resoruces online; they one I use is infidels.org's, in case you're wondering. The fact that you have a link in your sig doesn't immunize you from using such fallacies; hell, my logic professor used some fallacies (I don't remember which, though) while teaching about logical fallacies... Plus, given that you had said 4309483.5 times that the constitution's age made it a good thing, I assumed that you either didn't know you were makign that fallacy or knew and ignored it.


The world exists. Everything else is just a corollary.

Just an irregular Joe...
