Answer my goldilocks question plox

Should definitely be interesting,


I definitely feel its about right, It should be hard to amend the constitution in most scenarios to not allow unilateral change of our entire country unless one idea is so hated that a party can get in on the platform of purely amending that part of the constitution.

Recently I have noticed a flux among leftists who believe its too hard and prevents our country from experiencing true changeTM but this sort of institutional conservatism can also be helpful to liberal ideology even if it I would say it generally benefits conservatives more. Without such a high mark for amending the constitution, and if it was instead say 55/100 or 60/100 there would be a decent chance flag burning would be banned or allowed to be banned despite our first amendment which is one of the most powerfully enforced in the world, which is definitely an area where American exceptionalism does ring true to a degree.
