"Unfortunately our current government", consults the holy book... vote

Look up "American Folk Religion"

Americans like to have some sort of unquestionable rules they can point to. Whether it be religion or constitution they want impunity for their actions.

It's a document laying down the tenets and laws that our government has to follow and specifies what rights we as citizens have that cannot be infringed. That being said the reason is propaganda. And no. Not all Americans.

If you mean people interpret it however it best fits their argument then yes, it's just like the bible.

Believe it or not, there are movements out there that explicitly treat it as a holy document. There are "pocket constitutions" published by Mormons, given their own annotations, and distributed to schools.

Why don't we say that about the 2000 year old fucking religious texts. The fuck.

Its part of the brainwashing to preserve the illusion that they live in a real Democracy even though there has been a duopoly on Power for way over a century and that they are Free even though only a small number of them is born in wealthy enough families that they can actually do what they want, whilst everybody else has to do what they have to merelly to survive and are even constrained in that (for example, if they invade long unused land, to build their home and do subsistence farming there - i.e. try to have freedom via self-sufficiency - they will be kicked when the owner calls the "authorities").

Also treating the Constitution as almost sacred means that people can't challenge or even just criticize the very mathematical rigging that makes Power in their country be controlled by a duopoly (and hence not a Democracy) because it was set down on said Constitution so doing so would be challenging/criticising said "holy" Constitution.

Thinking people should always ponder on the answer for the good old Cui bono? ("Who gains from it?") question (so old it comes in Latin) whenever something or somebody is relentlessly portrayed as beyond questioning.

The worst part is that if they were still alive, they would pretty much agree with this sentiment. As the intention was the Constitution would be a living document that would adapt to fit the needs of the community, instead it is a strict guideline of rules that decide how we live in a society.
