How has the policy/law landscape of the country changed philosophically from what was intended, “original intent,” as a result of amendment, interpretation, and court decisions?

DETAILS:

The concepts and ideals of constitutional order are not new and have been passed down from generation to generation since constitutions have been written. However, these concepts and ideals have a paradoxical relationship within the modern state. Men of principle, who knew more what didn’t want to see in a new nation than what they did want, founded the United States of America. These men believed in noble principles and ideologies so strongly that the possibility of financial ruin or even death did not deter them from establishing a constitutional republic that guaranteed “liberty and justice for all.” These men were not politicians, but they were educated, imbued with deep thought, and had an unbreakable conviction. While some like John Adams were prone to flowery oratory and others like Thomas Jefferson were gifted with the ability to compose documents, they did what “political experience” could not; they gave us liberty and the most brilliantly devised system of self-government the world has ever known.
