In his book, Sowell does explicitly (and logically) state that exactly-there are no people wholly constrained or unconstrained. Everyone is mixed to some degree, it is on a spectrum not on divided lines.

When I said something is "not working" it means to me that the efforts of "unconstrained" people and politicians produces results that are NOT in concordance with the principles of the US Constitution.

So, to people who are predominately "unconstrained" (the Left in general and the Democrat party in particular) they do not produce "results" within the constraints of the US Constitution, so that is what I am referring to.

And that has everything to do with a "constrained" versus an "unconstrained" viewpoint.

There are indeed differences in human behavior. And it is unequivocally clear from the results of at least a century that the difference which is referred to as unconstrained does not "work", and it has been proven over and over again not to "work".

There is no need to coin new terms, (unconstrained and constrained) when well understood and better terms for the same thing already exist. It’s radicalism vs conservatism.

Introducing new vague terms only confuses the situation.
