What...just make a new constitution that will be ignored.

The Soviet Union had a wonderful constitution, at least Alexndr Solzhenitsyn says so, and I believe him. But it was just a piece of paper.

Yes, it’s a shame the Russians didn’t enforce the constitution they had.

The Soviet Constitution shared more than a few similarities with the US Constitution. The rights to home security, property, private correspondence, freedom of religion & conscience, equality before the law, and the right to earn/keep earnings and to leave inheritances were all there.

In Praise of the Soviet Constitution.

At least history provided Russians with an excuse, for they had never known free government.

History doesn’t leave Americans such an easy out. Since the 17th Amendment, America has transformed from the freest nation on earth to one on the cusp of hard tyranny.
