For those interested; today is Constitution Day! Find out how much you know about the Constitution (fairly basic quiz) at: http://www.quia.com/quiz/126674.html?AP_rand=208210320
And then brush up on the Constitution by reading it at: http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html

as it combines two questions: "How relevant is it now?" and "How relevant was it originally?". We can give different answers to each question depending on what we mean by 'relevant'.
In my opinion it is still relevant but not quite like when it was written. Do people care about it like they did centuries ago? Certainly not. Most people only care about news. Does it have the same impact on our government that it used to? If you include Supreme Court interpretations, maybe. The Constitution has aged well because it lays out some broad principles in addition to setting up the federal gov't. And the original text told us how to amend it. Good job Madison and all your bros in Phillie.
