At what point can we say the Constitution has been a failure?

[Zorra]

64. Given the overall condition of western "civilization" at the time the Constitution was ratified,

you have no case. We have maintained many essential freedoms under law for the past 225 years.

Yes, we need some very thoroughly considered changes, and over the years, wealthy private interests have purchased government officials, lawyers, and religious leaders, etc, in order to subvert democracy and obscure the intention of much of the Constitution, in order to come to a position of anti-democratic political power and control over the government and people of the US. They have insidiously supplanted democracy with plutocracy, but we still have many rights existent primarily because of the Constitution.

Now that the ignorant, gullible RW slaves of wealthy private interests have effectively fucked themselves, and us, and subverted the Constitution in service to their malicious plutocratic masters, it is most likely that we must use alternative means, outside the political process, in order to subjugate the plutocrats and install a democratic process and democratic government. Many of the basic principles of the Constitution/Bill of Rights remain necessary, IMO.

But the revolutionaries who ratified the Constitution certainly never intended that corporations should be considered to be persons, any more than they intended that we should be ruled by a plutocratic noblesse.
