I am in agreement here.

If we ammend the Constitution, we should avoid specifically naming
individual documents. If we name specific documents, we disallow the
future issuance of additional "Foundational Documents". Or, at least
we force ourselves to ammend the Constitution again to afford the
new document(s) the same protections....
