What if people want social equivality? How do they change the constitution so that there could be social equivality? Look, in democracy it's the people who hold the highest power, not constitution. And when governing is done via parliament, the elected parliament has the mandate of people to make decisions. |
states are not surperior to the constitution. States have the right in the constitution to change it. People can't change the constitution, only states can. What you don't get is the usa is a Republic not a democracy, and that Republic does not give them the right to do what ever they want. They are limited by the constitution. Originally the states had more rights than they do right now. States use to pick their own senators, now they are picked by popular vote leading to this stupid congress we have now.
