Sun Yat San was pretty fascinated by the Constitution. The Chicoms and the Kou Min Tang still venerate him at the same memorial in Big China.

Sun was a “Big Man” - the Chinese always venerate leaders who were “Big Men”. They are much less sanguine in real life about concepts like We The People.

The democracy movement that ended at Tiananmen Square was very instructive about how little even those in favor of change really understood how such political ideas would work in their society.
