You mean "limited government" and written constitutions, right? 🙄
Has history taught us anything yet?

In my view, the virtue of a written constitution is to legitimize disobedience and decentralization when individuals act unjustly in the name of the State, not to magically restrain individuals from ever acting unjustly
ie our grandfathers should have revolted by 1933 as the famous Ford quotation indicates, but this was the dawn of both Prussian schooling (indoctrination) and mass broadcast media (propaganda)
Yeah, a written constitution is probably somewhat better than an unwritten one, as in the U.K.
