>>Even its constitutional laws should be flexible enough to reflect such evolution.<<

I think the constitution is plenty flexible. (in fact a bit to flexible) Any more flexibility, and there won't be any point to having a constitution at all. We could just govern by statute.

>>I believe the electoral college has outlived its usefulness.<<

I hear a lot of people saying this. In fact it's become something of a clique; people saying it without even thinking what exactly has been "outlived." But what exactly was/is so useful about it back then and why it is no longer relevant today?
