Why do you have faith when the institutions obviously have their own motives? They are definitely not opposed to top-down state control, it's the president, one person, who is commander in chief, it's only a few hundred people in congress who legislate laws, and they are the ones who dictate what should happend. That is undeniably top-down state control.

Everything has a motive, that's not a reason not to have faith in it. One of your constitutional rights is to freedom of speech, if the government violates your rights, you can take them to court. You don't have much control if you can be challenged.

The problem is that the constitution was written by rich, white slave-owners who wanted to stay at the top. It's biased towards haves and against the have-nots. Also, court is not a viable option for most people because they either cannot afford the court costs or have to provide for their family are so desperate to get out that they enter a plea deal, forever cementing them with a criminal record.
