The Constitution was left a little vague in several areas to allow some wiggle room for changing times.

I think a big problem with these kinds of debates now-a-days is that people think the Founding Fathers were of a single mind. This couldn't be further from the truth.

There was the Great Compromise, 3/5 Compromise (how is that holding up these days?), debates, conventions, arguments, accusations about people's mothers, and even a gun fight between two of the FF.

So, when we argue about what an Ammendment means, we aren't arguing what the FF meant, but what one particular Founder we agree with said.
