Democracy, the word leftists think trumps freedom.
Oh, I think DEMOCRATS (not Progressives as they call themselves) know full well what the meaning and intent of the US Constitution. From all manner and walks of life, these rabid ideologues actively seek to deliberately misinterpret and confuse the intent in an effort to bend it around their twisted ideological fingers.
They know full well what it is and what it means; and they do not like it one doggone bit!
Slime like Saul Alinsky and zer0, thoroughly GET the constitution which is why they push the democracy lie. As if the constitution can be changed without an amendment of convention.
As a constitutional republic we are bound by this liberty guaranteeing document.
