It seems to me that those who talk so much about Constitution know the least about it; except for one half of one Amendment. Those who complain about federal government "dictatorial" actions should study the document. There are so many ways the Constitution divides and separates power to protect a system based on democracy. Powers are granted to the state government and the federal government. Education, for example, is a state responsibility; national defense a federal. Separation of powers grants to each branch fields of action, the Amendments grant to the people protection against abusive government.
The Constitution works, not always perfectly, but it works. Its wrong that some who don't get their way want to change it; they would not come up with anything better. If we don't live by the law we live by the one who presently holds power. That is a receipt for disaster.
