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.

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.
