A red herring. The US government is founded to:
"form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."
Implementation of these principles requires some subordination of the good of certain individuals to that of the rest of us. For instance, it might be in my personal financial self-interest to kill and rob those I run into each day. The state is supposed to interfere with this "good" of mine.
The specific purpose of the entire Constitution is to provide a balance between the common good and individual goods. Any individual's "good," carried to an extreme, will interfere with or destroy the "goods" of others.
The question isn't about the former Constitution and the purposes of the Founding Fathers.
It is about the Gramscian world we have been living in for many decades and those who continue to support it.
