Why do Americans care so much about the Constitution?The Constitution is in essence a reaction(A Post-Traumatic Stress Reaction to use psychological terms) to British Tyranny.This no longer exists as a threat -unless you consider the influx of corrupt Rock stars like Mick Jagger and David Bowie as a new form of tyranny lol.So the document is largely anachronistic and inappropriate for modern times.If we absolutely need a Constitution,it be should be entirely rewritten.The new document would need to include the right to a decent job and comprehensive medical care for every citizen.(I’ll leave out university education because that’s a two-edged sword.)But they can’t do that because the constitution itself, with all its procedures and protocols, would make that impossible.So the constitution itself is now the new form of Tyranny! How wonderful and paradoxical.Meanwhile Americans are dying in the streets of its major cities every day because of this new tyranny!
You are right- as always ! The American constitution is a tyranny as is the British one etc etc in that it just ensures that the problems are perpetrated on and on and never fixed.
What would fix them? There was a Taoist political system which involved the idea of constant change being only certainty and requiring insight and wisdom from leaders who adapt the laws to fit the needs of the times. Unfortunately it didn’t last very long. So we are left with an archaic political system. We still have corruption decadence , slavery and so on.Also we get the government we deserve as Sheikh N used to say.
