Enforcement of any set of fixed rules “violates” one of the core tenets of the humanist worldview.
The elites alive today are better suited to making ad hoc, arbitrary decisions than anyone that lived in the past and wrote down some rule for future people to live by.
This includes the amendment process. This is part of the “fixed rules”, so it is despised as much or more as any of the other fixed rules.
Well said. Our elites feel entitled to rule. The Tudors swore to uphold magma carta when they were crowned but pretty much made their own rules as it suited them. The most glaring one was the break with the Catholic Church, which Thomas More opposed because he realized how lawless an act it was, how revolutionary. The English got hot and bothered about the Spanosh inquisition, but the king’s “Star-chamber” courts were every bit as arbitrary if not more so.
