The US constitution can be changed in any way by agreement, and it can also
be interpreted in any way by the legislature, so I don’t think you are

wishes of the population. It may be an impediment to tyrannical takeover,
but many countries in the world have fine-sounding constitutions including
ones which were or have become tyrannies.
