Wow, had never even thought about the Constitution being messed with. Want to stress that I think alot of things are possible. In this case though I don't think so. The Consitution is a well known document and has been taught in high school for who knows how long. To many people have been familiar with the contents for it to have been changed.

Of coarse they have. They're called "Amendments"

The constitution is still the way it was, have several copies at home and "The Federalist Papers" are a GREAT way of understanding the INTENT.
It's been whittled away, and some ammendments I don't think should be there. The Courts have done their share of usurping the intent of the constitution... all three branches have done quite a bit to take us pretty far away from the intent of the constitution. It is what it is but they've made it what it is not.

How do you censor something that's had millions of copies printed over the last 200+ years? Did someone modify all of the books in every library, book store, home, school, etc so that we wouldn't notice the differences?
