The U.S. constitution feels like a team trying to design a really good sports car, and they get the most beautiful, aerodynamic chassis, seats, electrical, etc. you've ever seen. The framework is so well done it feels like you could have a horse pull it and it'd still be able to compete.
Then someone runs in the door and screams, "OH MY GOD, WE FORGOT TO DEVELOP THE ENGINE!"
And that's the Bill of Rights and they throw it in there in the last second.
