The Constitution is not the foundation of the nation, in fact it has been rarely used for the past hundred years. frequently it has been abused, seldom enforced, often ignored. Americans have little knowledge of it.

So much for its genius. Lincoln kicked it to the curb to destroy the South, thats right kiddies the right to session was enshrined when three states demanded the right to leave the union at any time for any reason prior to ratification and all states agreed but the drafters neglected to include that little precondition, alas facts remain ugly things and Lincoln was driven by a lust for power.

It is the Declaration that enshrines what America is not the Constitution. The world recognizes America by the Declaration, not its Constitution. Americans lay down their lifes for the Declaration and its principles, not the 11th and 12th Amendments nor the 15th or 16th, Most Americans have no idea what they are. Our Supreme Court has a habit of finding rights like the right to strangle puppies right there besides queer marriage and abortion.

If the Constitution was as good as Switzerland's we wouldn't have had Mr. Lincoln's war nor politicians who serve for 40 years and then ask us why solutions cannot be found.

Our Constitution is a sorry piece of crap. Doubt it, ask the Japanese. Tell me how SCOTUS ended the death penalty for a period when a bunch of senile power mad black robbed morons decided five unelected critters ruled America. We now have members who are so stupid they can't define what a woman is.

So keep your Constitution that permits such horrors.
