How do we keep democracy from falling into mob rule? Well one proposed idea was the constitution, but obviously that didn’t work if “elected” officials can just change it Willy nilly. For example the second amendment means ALL arms, yet we are now being forced into a corner more and more because tyrants elected by idiots can just rewrite and reinterpret the constitution however they want.
What’s even the point of a constitution if they can just change it based on how many votes they get?
