It was written by slave-owning, freemason, elite white garbage.

but a bit over rated - it was after all written by human beings who were no doubt influenced by special interests.

No better place is this evidenced than the copyright clause which grants powerful corporations monopolies under the guise of giving authors and inventors "incentive" to be creative.

It's been consolidating knowledge and power into the hands of a few ever since.

But it truly is an amazing document.  Without disparaging the brilliant minds that conceived it, there are some major flaws.  As EOWN points out, protecting slavery was a corrupt maneuver, the self-conscious guilt of which is shown by the reluctance to openly mention slavery.  Instead we see the person/citizen distinction, and the mention of 3/5 persons. 

The average American was unaware of the fully guarantee of rights protected by the Constitution.  Congressional debates at the time of the proposed 14th Amendment show that the Congressmen were unaware that the Constitution originally only applied to the federal government. 

The person/citizen distinction later came back to haunt us when the USSC, which previously had ruled that corporations were not citizens under the P&I clause, stated that they were persons under the 14th Amendment.   The irony  here is that the original authors had perverted the document so that black people could be property.  Later, the USSC twisted the document to mean that properties were persons.  Ho ho ho. 

The USSC and congress missed the boat in creating the current copyright laws.  The Constitution says "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."  Limited Times does not mean a lifetime plus 70 years, which is the current law.  The current copyright law is in violation of the Constitution. 

My brilliant idea is that we could use the copyright law to limit pornography.  Althought there is a protection of free speech that is not "obscene", there is no right to copyright protection.  Congeress could pass a law that says certain things will not be granted copyright protection.  If there was no copyright protection, e.g. for filming explicit sex acts, these "movies" could be legally copied unlimited times by anybody.  Any porno movie would thus be vulnerable to copying and the chance for profit would dry up.  Very few people would make pornos just for the joy of it and the industry would disappear.
