Some people might believe your interpretation (which is obviously in the minority and you live in a democracy, so bad luck for you) of the constitution is outdated and even if your interpretation happens to be factual, that it should be ammended to suit the current economic and social circumstances of your nation.

My opinion is that any constitution, whether it be that of a country or a company even, is not a stagnant document. It is simply a foundation to begin from. It's up to the people to modify and update such documents throughout time.

eta: So if their opinion doesn't matter because according to you it's wrong according to the constitution, what should be the recourse? Should these people who have the same rights as American citizens as you do just bugger off and find some other country to live in?
