We the People. Right?
You are correct "they" had seen what an oppresive regime could be like, and that is exactly why they wrote and prepared the document the way they did.
To leave room for changing their mistakes because they looked to the future by knowing their past, as all good leaders should.

Nope. Written to be overthrown. I swear. Start over from scratch. The French are on I believe their Fifth Constitution now, for instance. If you take a 250 year old document and revise it, you get a cobbled mess. If you write a new one, you get something that works for *this* era.
