You are showing a limited understanding of the constitution by only referring to the Bill of Rights. Myself I would strengthen section 3 article 3 Treason remove the two witness requirement and add lending comfort to the enemy ( by giving financial support or supporting anyone that is actively involved against us.

No, I fully understand it. I was simply referring to just amendments, you'll notice I did list all of them.

I think that redefining treason is largely irrelevant because we've created numerous charges that are essentially treason at a lower requirement. Ultimately the name of something doesn't matter.

By just paying attention to the amendments is selling the document very short. it is also supposed to be a blueprint for government. Not just about an individual's rights.

If you want to have a thread on this expand your topic to include the entire Constitution. If you want to put any erstwhile thought into fixing the current situation here you go..........
