Ask the residents of Alaska and Hawaii about the ability to redress their legislators (both Federal and State) without flying on an airplane.

Just because there were no airplanes in 1789 does not mean they are not covered by the U.S. Constitution.

Much as in the way that the freedoms insured by the 2nd Amendment do not only apply to 18th-century muskets and pistols.
