   How, exactly?   
      
   Winning is about organization. Who gets organized, that changing cultural   
   element, is completely irrelevant. Only how many.   
      
   Now I might agree that the constitution could be improved upon, particularly   
   with the addition of proportional representation.   
      
   But they did leave the opportunity to change the document as needed. We have   
   done so about 25 times. Just because today's politicians are so weak that   
   they cannot or so corrupt that thy will not correctly govern is not a   
   reflection on the constitution.   
      
   Perhaps 300 million people cannot be governed by 1 document.   
      
   Maybe we should break up country into various regions and make 6 or so   
   separate countries.  Then we could have six different constitutions and   
   people could move to where they liked the law best.   
      
   I moved to Holland, and it worked just fine.
