We're still feeling the disastrous effects of the 14th amendment.

Constitution-worship is fake and gay, like Glen Beck. But the Constitution is kicking in as far as its value I think. Conservatives are taking over local/state governments and now the federal branches could be secure.

If you think so, amend it.

None of the above.

I think it's an excellent document, pretty well addressing what the limits of government should be even today.
I would say that it is becoming functionallly irrelevant, since the federal government frequently ignores it, and the populace basically accepts that.

The constitution is not flawed in any way.

Flawed? In some ways. Its missing a lot of enforcement clauses really. For example, what is the penalty for the government violating someone's freedom of speech? How about for the executive branch for not enforcing a law? Interpretation by the judicial branch should not have gotten so far that a corporation is considered a person with free speech, where speech can be considered paying money for a political advertisement.
