Things like freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, right to bear arms to protect yourself from tyranny and enslavement, protection against unlawful searches and seizures, etc, are timeless. These are rights that everyone should have regardless if it's 1776 or 2389.
It also lays out what I believe to be a great form of government, which has to do with CHECKS AND BALANCES. The constitution is why we have three branches of government.

I did not say that the entire constitution is flawed. I agree with Ron Paul's policies on freedoms from "tyranny" etc. But Ron Paul is a strict constructionist and that's where I have a problem with him because it's not in the best interest in the country as a whole.
