 The phrase "government of the people, by the people, for the people" isnt enshrined in the constitution.

The first 10 amendments to the Constitution known as the Bill of Rights weren't added until 1791.

 The Constitution is a nasty document that centralizes power, monopolizes money, and legalizes theft via taxation. The same old tyrannical shit, just 11 years after gaining independence.

The Bill of Rights were concessions to make sure it was followed after being ratified. Few.
