The Constitution has NOT failed. Rather, the people have failed to use it. - At the time the Constitution was written, there was a need to centralize power to fight King George. The individual strength for keep individual government officials at bay, was hidden in the constitution, although it is still there. - Private property and the right to contract are two of the major things that people can use - through the courts, if they do it the right way - to nullify almost anything that government wants to do with them. One example is Bitcoin as money. Government has been given the authority to coin money. Bitcoin as private money is proving that people don't need government money, and that government can't force people to use government money.
