The original constitution failed to account for an aristocracy forming and controlling the flows of information. I believe they called for an educated active constituency. Do you think you could amend the constitution in this environment? State convention or through the legislator. How many voters do you think actually know about constitutional convention? And with the states so fractured, do you think that they could get together and agree on anything?
That’s all good stuff, 100%, but if the existing constitution had been upheld, Trump would be in prison instead of the White House.

Hence, starting over. We need fresh politicians and an overhauled Constitution to go with them.
