Essentially the point is that if the rest of the world adopted the US constitution or something similar in the essential points what objection do we have to a world government based on that?

LOL. Sure, like the rest of the world, which by and large does not believe in the liberties we enjoy here, are going to drop their centuries old varying degrees of oppression and copy and enforce our U.S. Constitution, just to placate you One Worlders. You are a space cadet.

To be clear on that point - I wouldn't expect any meaningful global government till at the very earliest late in this century. The amount of catchup needed by most of the world in economics, human rights, democratic structures, etc will take at least 50 years before we even can seriously talk of global political union.
