Just what pretenses are you talking about. Our constitution is a living growing thing and amending it is written into it. It has been amended many times because the Supreme court and the legislature has needed to be corrected by the people. Just as is happening now in the U.S..
It is incapable of anything but superficial change, and always open to the interpretation of a select group of justices, unelected by the people with a vested interest in the status quo... I would be happy to see them all stand back and allow the constitution, and their defense of it, to go on and destroy the government, but when forms self destruct they bring down their whole societies... We have to kill it before it kills us, and it is not going to be easy or fun, but starting over will be a damned sight easier than fixing the old mess...
So I'd leave out the bill of rights and make it more clear the government has no powers beyond what is specifically mentioned in the constitution.
