The discussion that I actually remembered was
https://blog.plover.com/law/Godel-dictatorship.html https://blog.plover.com/law/Godel-dictatorship.html
which discusses the prospect of having Congress admit large numbers of new states with extremely tiny populations, in order to give those populations a straightforward and routine way of passing constitutional amendments. Guerra-Pujol doesn't think this is what Gödel had in mind, and indeed things it was just about the ability to amend the constitution via its official amendment procedure so as to eliminate particular rights, political institutions, or restrictions on further amendments.
