    Some of the founders anticipated this and expected it might be AMENDED with successive generations, maybe even replaced entirely in a process similar to its creation. The successive generations are the ones who have sanctified it reverentially.

    Every society has rules, a constitution (at least ones that are being enforced) puts some limits on what those rules can be, in order to prevent them from being too authoritarian… By not caring about constitutions, you end up with what’s happening with the US right now.

    Constitutions are not perfect and often has serious flaws, but its better than not having one and being ruled by decree by some dipshit dictator.

    Because it is imperative that most people uphold the social contract that we were all born into.
