All of the value of the Constitution flows from it’s fundamental of being a limitation on the powers of government - a doctrine of negative rights, where the people are acknowledged as fundamentally free and sovereign (not “granted” freedom by the government), whereas the government is constrained as their servant and not empowered over them.

Lose that, and nothing else it has matters.
