What is so great about the US Constitution ? *USC* *DOI*

 Many people invoke the USC to hammer home a point.  Many more swear an oath to support and defend the USC.  There is a conventional reverence for the USC.  And let us not forget a cororollary document that is really a preview of the USC..... that would be the Declaration of Independence.  *DOI*

So are these two documents still relevant ?   Are they over hyped spaghetti text written by old farts from the past ?  Can we just skip ahead to modern constitutions that promise a shining world flowing with lots of goodies ?   Nope !    I am going to argue that while flawed ; these two documents are the greatest roadmap to human triumph that have written to date.

WHY ?
Why were these two documents written ?   Why did some guys in the late 1700s cook up the the DOI and USC ?  Were they control freaks ?  Did they think they were special ?  Did they suffer from bloated egos ?  Hubris ?  Why did they do it ?  Creating the DOI was certainly dangerous.  The authors were painting a target on their backs that the British king and soldiers would be happy put some bullets into.  So why did they do it ?

My critique
History is nice stuff ......    *but*    The USC talks about natural rights.... No one has natural rights...   Natural rights would have to come from God...... ( It is very unlikely there is a god )  Rights have to be articulated and then they have to be fought for and then maintained.  As man has become more productive and robots have taken over banal tasks, *men* have had the opportunity to develop in the direction of sophoncy.
