Is the Constitution inadequate now?

John Adams wrote, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

Benjamin Franklin said, "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."

Under this logic, could it be that the Constitution is indeed inadequate for the government of this people? Could it be that therefore this people does need such an additional 'master' as a Federal Marriage Amendment to strengthn an increasingly inadequate Constitution?

Sure, my mind abhors government even being involved in marriage in the first place. Marriage survived fine a religious sacrament for 6,000 years, without government interference.
Sure, I'd rather that Congress excercise an existing Constitutional ability to simply prohibit the Supreme Court from hearing cases dealing with marriage.

But these feelings presuppose a Constitution which is already adequate for governing this people. However, if this people is increasingly immoral, unvirtuous, anti-religious (atheistic) people, if this nation is increasingly vicious and corrupt, then perhaps a constitutional amendment would serve as a needed additional 'master' added upon a people in need of such.
