Constitutions form the foundation on which everything else--laws, the economy, public services, politics, culture, national security--is built.

It's one thing to look at how a new constitution might solve our current social ills, or to demonstrate how the old one is imperfect, it's another thing to really consider the side effects of a change in constitution. What things we would lose that we take for granted, and to do so honestly, and critically?

Would America still be an imperialistic hegemony with a swedish constitution? If no, are Americans really truly ready to give up the benefits they enjoy that come with being a global hegemony?

We won't really find answers to these questions in a tweet.
