  • You are correct, it isn’t a magic shield and that’s why it needs to be protected and propped up to some degree. Like any real shield it won’t stop everything but the less people believe in it the easier it is to take away. I don’t agree with majority rules because that leads to bad things happening so it needs to be balanced out and in a lot of ways what you had gave as examples are when majority ruled. As for sedition, well the US’ foundation was started with sedition.

    I would rather take something that works most of the time than none of the time.


  • The US constitution has helped a lot of people out against the government (think of the police as part of the government as well). Other countries can’t talk shit about the people in power or get arrested for speaking their mind, discord gets crushed, and leaders become dictators with ease. The alternatives don’t seem better so why not prop up the constitution that gives the people the power to wield against the government.

    Unfortunately the people who think it shouldn’t be a “living” document that changes over time are usually idiots.
