To Supersede the Constitution of the United States

Ten years ago I read How Democratic Is the American Constitution?, a most enlightening book by scholar Robert A. Dahl. Here is a sampling from its Introduction:

"And if our constitution is as good as most Americans think it is, why haven't other democratic countries copied it? As we'll see . . . every other advanced democratic country has adopted a constitutional system very different from ours. Why?"

That's one heck of a hook. And it was.

Now we're seeing that there may be an answer to Mr Dahl's question: it too easily can be bypassed, or outright ignored, by unpatriotic 'Americans'. Is it possible that The Constitution of the United States is, through no fault of its own, not worth the paper it's written on?

I recommend, highly, that citizens of the United States of America read How Democratic Is the American Constitution?, or any such book. Now's the time.
