Do we need to re-write the Constitution and religious literature?

   Dear Fellow Authors,
   
   I believe we are a society of refined human beings. And in my opinion the authors don't only write the words, but they write the destiny, the future and also the history.
   So we see a lot of things going on as we move into the 21st century.  We have seen the miracles of information technology, the new heights of artificial intelligence and the rise of mankind at the doorsteps of being an interplanetary civilization. While these are some of the positive outcomes of our inventions, there have also been negative impacts of science. The invention of different types of weapons, chemical products, plastics and coal, to name a few. These are the principles of science that have given us both progress and destruction (of our mother earth).
   And if we had only depended upon the ancient principles of science?
   Would we have been able to reach the moon or connect in seconds across the globe?
   
   The answer is simply "No"
   
   If the basis of our knowledge can be temporary then why not the constitutions? We see many conflicts around the globe. sometimes reason can be a national interest or other times it can be the ego of the supreme leader of the nation. Racism is now part and parcel of this world. In my opinion, the main reason behind this overall conflict is the "Constitution" of the nations. What about establishing a distinct constitution for each community living in different parts of the world? Now the question arises: who is the God who will write the fate of thousands of like-minded groups of persons?
   And I think the answer to that is "the greatest leader". I mean the nation where a mixed community of different religions (such as Christianity, Hinduism, Muslims, Judaism, Sikhism, Buddhism or anyone else) lives, the constitution would have to be divided and rewritten. A constitution for Christians should be drafted by a wise Christian leader. For Hindus this should be written by a wise Hindu, for Muslims this should be written by a wise Muslim and so forth. As we know there is too much racism based on the colour of skin as well, so why shouldn't there be a constitution maker for the black people a wise man/woman with black skin and for white people a wise man/woman with white skin?
   
   Please weigh in on that.
   
   Hopefully we can come to a peaceful and incompetent conclusion for a better world. At least we should learn how to make a habitable globe on our own earth before Mr. Elon Musk takes us to a new house (planet Mars)

   You raise some valid questions that call for thoughtful answers. For Americans, our finest qualities come from accepting and respecting diversity and making sure our Constitution is fair and inclusive. The mistake we have made is canonizing that document as if nothing has changed in 146 years (i.e. the right to bear arms when the writers could never envision assault weapons, the subjugation of women and blacks when today everyone should have the same rights and opportunities). In any culture their founding principles must be living, adapting, developing entities. Thanks for this discussion.

      That is the point Madam!
      I think it should be written in a new way for all nations so that everyone out there could be free to think about "living, adapting, developing"  entities. Meanwhile they will have to make sure that the freedom of one cannot become an adversity in the other one's life and that is the toughest task. Thanks for your answer.
