The constitution is NOT a total failure- it is a nearly perfect way to run a country

We have just elected people who choose to ignore it

The Constitution as a government of limited powers is an abject failure. 200 years—the verdict is in.

I don’t think it’s been ignored as much as it’s been used to national advantage. I think the obvious flaws and loopholes have been continually exploited, all using the powers granted by the system (e.g., judicial review).
