Answer:

The framers contributed to the writing of the Constitution, planning on amending it in the future, although they never signed it. The Founding Fathers signed the Constitution and sent it to the Confederation Congress so that the states would approve it.

Also, the United States Constitution has never been changed because it was thought to be perfect the way it was written.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Founding Fathers' words reflect this goal. The plans for future repairs are shown in these quotes: "freedom of speech," "due process of law," "free exercise" of religion, "equal protection of the laws," and "cruel and unusual punishment."

The Founding Fathers knew that they were giving future generations the responsibility to use their knowledge, wisdom, and experience to give these vague ideas a clear meaning over time, "we must never forget it is a constitution we are expounding... intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs." By Chief Justice Marshall.
