CONSTITUTION CHANGE? MOST SAY NO!

It looks like a majority of "we the people" want the nation's constitution left alone. In a Rasmussen Reports telephone survey, 62-percent of one-thousand adults polled said to leave the centuries-old document as-is. This, despite recent arguments that it's not restrictive enough of government. About a quarter of those polled this year -- 24-percent -- said that "minor changes" are warranted.


The U.S. Constitution was adopted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in September 1787 and ratified in June 1788. Since then, it's undergone 27 amendments. The first ten amendments are America's Bill of Rights.
