    This is has always been the glaring issue with pure democracies.

    That’s why constitutional republics were created. It’s supposed to be a counter to the negative side of democracy. The constitution is supposed to be continuously updated and refined with the changing needs of the Republic.

    FYI the last constitutional amendment to the U.S. was in 1992. That is 34 years ago. Unless something changes radically in the next few years, historians will refer to that date as when the U.S. Constitution died.

      Actually, the last time the Constitution was amended was in 2020 when Virginia became the 38th state to pass the Equal Rights amendment. But, of course, conservative ciquanery kept it off.
