There are four words in the second that are without any other meaning >SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
What has made this country the power that it is, is the fact that up until the last two thirds of the 20th century the Constitution was considered as the test for all laws and was considered a rigid document. Today the courts and lawyers tend to try to put words and thoughts into the authors thought based upon what would they mean today.
No where in the Constitution does it say or imply that the document should change based upon time or inovation.
