The system definitely has a hard time. Globally.
Funny money, created out of thin air are able to corrupt people whose job is to keep lawful order.
I do give credit to the founding fathers and creators of the Constitution because they have tried their best to create a working system.
Securing individual liberties with the Constitution and making it hard to change, and
separating powers - division of the legislative, executive, and judicial functions of government among separate and independent bodies.
But the corruption and funny money created out of thin air is a bitch.
