[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] "Omega, in your opinion, did the founding fathers think that the Constitution would be the end all, or did they think that it needed to be able to adapt to a changing nation?" Of course they gave it the ability to adapt. That's why they put in the thing about ammendments. Article IV, IIRC. "Speed limits are probably unConstitutional." How do you figure? The tenth ammendment states that all powers not granted by the constitution to the federal government, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or people. This means that unless the constitution specifically gives the federal government the power to do something, or disallows the states from doing it, then the states can do it, subject to their own constitutions and laws. Thus, states and municipalities can apply speed limits, and owners of private restaraunts can segregate their customers however they darned well please. [/QB][/QUOTE]
