the United States is the first government in the history of the world that its foundation lays in the Constitution.
No, that would be San Marino, so far as I know.
Im well aware that the rest of the world and liberals are loosing their minds that the 2 foundational documents that over overrule every other law in America say what the government can do and what rights citizens have given by God that the government cannot take away. I fully recognize that at every turn people have been trying to chip away with this. They can suck a fatty, but this is America. The constitution in the Bill of Rights are the law of the land. Y’all are about to learn something today.
The rest of the world (and possibly some liberals) have constitutions too, so we are hardly loosing our minds over it.
And while many of them are younger than the US Constitution, it is likely just because they were replaced by newer constitutions.
Denmark for example has a younger constitution dated 1849, but it's largely based on a law from 1241 that opens with the phrase "The land must be build upon law." (In other words, this law also contained basic legal concepts, rights, etc.)
But do you feel that those (your/US) documents are respected by the Trump administration?
I ask solely because what I see on TV is Trump and the summoned press signing 40 executive orders and showcasing these to the cameras. I haven't seen much debate, voting, etc. about those topics, I just see a president who seems to enact whatever he pleases.
It could be me mistaken, absolutely. I'm a distant and casual observer. But to me, it *looks* more like an "elected dictator", than an actual governing body providing legislation based on simple majority votes within those governing bodies?
