Nevertheless, it is still the order under which we live. Even if the Constitution were as irrelevant as you seem to believe it is, we should still live as if it weren’t. The framers of this system did not govern themselves as if the Articles of Confederation were null and void while they were framing this government.... they also had the foresight to insert remedies if this sytem should fail... we haven’t even approached those yet... that is amendment and/or constitutional convention...
“ The framers of this system did not govern themselves as if the Articles of Confederation were null and void while they were framing this government.”
You are completely missing the situation in which we now find ourselves. We are not living here as the citizens were under the Article of Confederation. We are living now as Americans were under the rule of King George (the tyranny today from this government is actually far worse than under the British, but that’s of no matter on this point).
We are not framing a government, we have had the government taken from “The People” by the ruling government oligarchy. The system has already failed - multiple times and of increasing magnitude. The government oligarchy that now rules the people will not allow amendment or constitutional convention. They will not relinquish one iota of their accumulated power to anything except overwhelming force.
