France disagrees. They iterated 5 times on it and it fixed big flaws each time. What keeps a country in check is not a constitution but a politically informed and active population. The US shows us right now that the constitution is just a

People got lazy lately after a long peace time. Saying “it can’t get worse than that” with 5-10% unemployment. Yes this is not good, but it can get way worse than that. Also “my vote doesn’t count, and everyone is bad”. Enemies of democracy
