A constitution is like those white stripes on a highway. It gives drivers a guideline. That cannot be translated on how hard of comfortable the ride is. How safe it is and so on. It is just a general rule.

It cannot be taken as the answer for everything. That 'as the answer for everything' oncept is sold to the ignorant masses and they buy it.

Give you an example. I had a guy who worked for a tiny municipality where I have a property. My wife -who grew up in that place- told me he carried a copy of the Brazilian constitution on his bag. He read cover to cover and lectured people about it.

He said it was a good thing. I said, this is exactly the purpose of constitutions: They give the less educated the idea that they matter. Then governments can go ahead doing what matters to them.
