It has barely anything in it. How exactly is it killing any chance of improvement and progress? The only really harmful thing I can think of in the constitution is the electoral college. I think most of the problems with it are just because of how much room it leaves for interpretation.
Another big constitutional issue is the influence of money in Federal elections. It is a logical outgrowth of the first amendment, but causes a ton of problems. Citizens United was rightly decided, it's just that the outcome sucks.
I used to ask people:
If you could write a constitutional amendment of 15 words or less, what would it say?
It seems more like just another thing the constitution overlooked, by being too vague.
