The entire goal of limited government beholden to the People. Most of the destruction is due to the critical flaw in the Constitution that only constrains nominal Government behavior, paving the path of extraconstitutional corporate control that we're suffering today. I think this is what Gödel was referring to in his conversation with Einstein about the Constitution having a logical flaw that would allow it to be subverted, not the common belief that it was merely about the amendment capability.
In addition to the underlying extraconstitutional erosion, the Supreme Council has directly created many legal justifications, both for indirect violation through government-corporate synergy and even for blatant direct violation by the nominal Government. Personally I look at the Bill of Rights as a list of test cases by which to judge effective outcomes, and they're basically all failing.
