As I responded here:
America is defined by human beings (culture), not by laws. We were never a nation of laws. The Constitution only ever had power so long as it reflected the values of most Americans. Now, at least half of our government's actions, many of which are supported by laws, are in direct violation of the Constitution.
The Constitution is inevitably ignored or rejected by modern politicians because the values of Americans have been corrupted and no longer match the philosophies on which the Constitution was founded. Even those who share the values of our Founders often accept the fruits of corruption (such as the "free money" of Cash-For-Clunkers and recent home buyers' programs). Alternatively, believers in the Constitution mildly accept unconstitutional laws and programs.
Laws, including Constitutional laws, are only fruitful when they are supported by citizens willing to obey them and officials willing to enforce them. Without such cooperation from individual human beings, the Constitution might as well be a John Lennon lyric. It is a plan for action... not the action itself.
America is dying because our culture is dying. To save our Constitution, we must save the hearts and minds of individual Americans from lies, cowardice, and ignorance.
Our Founders hearkened to God. We must do the same. That means focusing on changing individual hearts. No system of government is any better or worse than the individual persons who comprise it. Help America's citizens to find their way back to truth and justice, and our government will inevitably reflect those citizens' intentions.
