And finally, the Constitution became the document for which the principles of the founding fathers were finalized. Good try at splitting hairs though

No one said the Articles contradicts the Constitution. The 4th amendment was in practice in the 1760s. Parts of the enactment were changed, thus not being the same amendment that predated the Constitution. Again, you need to look up the definition of, "amendment".
Yes, the Constitution has changed. For one, adding is changing, but that's not my point.
Research the Amendment Convention, it's noted in Article 5.
You also know that the Supreme Court judges go on their own interpretation, yes? Some stick with it's exact wording, some interpret for themselves, and some adapt for modern times.
