The problem with our government is not things like the Constitution. The problem is the politicians who will not abide the Constitution.
The large majority of Americans do not believe in or abide the Constitution either.
What percentage of Americans would agree to:
Allow real, modern military rifles to be freely available to the public?
End the involvement of the Federal Government in:
social welfare programs (SS, medicare, medicaid, HUD, food stamps, WIC etc),
student loans and grants,
schooling,
grants to local police
environmental laws
game laws
weapons laws
drug laws
local infrastructure funding
grants to local programs
And turn over all these functions (and funding responsibilities!) to state and local police?
Not only would the average American oppose all of these things vigorously, they would not even be able to
understand that these things are a violation of the constitution. Nor would they care if they could understand.
And young people are far worse than the old. We are raising a generation of petty tyrants who thing that offensive speech is violence and should be punished by the law!
The constitution has been dead longer than almost all of us have been alive.
