Not when elections are subverted, of course.
Full John Adams quote:
“Because We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition, Revenge or Gallantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
The cacophony of pornography, sexual deviancy and screaming in the media is mainly a distraction intended to hide something else: the malevolent greed and incompetence of the ruling political and business classes. The same is true of DEI and woke nonsense: it provides a black face and spurious justification for the attempt to impose a corporate fascist state.
In which case the Constitution means what exactly?
I don’t know a lot of Argentina beyond topography, and where it is on a map.

Likewise, but before I got too serious about moving there I’d want to vacation there, and before I did that I’d spend plenty of time learning about the crime rate, the climate, the cost of living, the medical care, and how heavy-handed the government rules over its citizenry and its expat residents, especially Americans.
Medical and dental is very cheap. The vacation idea is good, and clearly I’d go do a good recce (Canadian infantry slang for reconnaissance.) I’d diesel board a few locals for the truth about treatment (support oil and gas and I heard water boarding is cruel) and then locate a perfect spot 100 miles from anyone.
What does any list of laws mean? It’s always about the power to keep them enforced. Benjamin Franklin’s admonition “if you can keep it” is not for those who have given up.
And they can only be enforced against a moral and virtuous people willing to accept them.
Such a people would be free of any criminal elements. They would be the people that would obey it. The separation between federal and state laws existed to not only make the central government over-powerful but to relieve the burden of criminal punishment.
