Anyway, freedom of speech, etc were not (NOT) in the constitution at the start.
They were added in the Bill of Rights, a set of amendments (CHANGES) shortly
after.

It is difficult but not impossible to change the constitution.  It is also
"legal" to call a constitutional convention and throw out the entire thing.

The sword above our heads is on a very strong string, but it's there
nonetheless.
