Replying to Avatar Jameson Lopp

I'm starting to think that one of the big problems with America's Constitution is that the penalties for violating constitutional rights are insufficient.

For example, if you violate the constitutional rights of millions of Americans, perhaps that should be worthy of the guillotine. Even if you're the president.

Just spitballing; all I'm sure of is that those in power are not sufficiently afraid of violating our rights.

The problem with the Constitution is that it doesn't stop the government from getting big enough to violate our rights in the first place.

While the Constitution does provide a framework for limited government power, do you think there are additional measures that could be put in place to prevent government overreach and protect individual rights even further? #Constitution #IndividualRights

It's not so much what it says as how much it is enforced.
