    I feel like if controlling all three branches is enough to undo the whole constitution, it wasnt that good. If they wanted to prevent a tyrant, they shouldve thought to ask “what if that tyrant is popular”

      I mean… A popular tyrant will win no matter the political system, because who’s gonna do anything about them?

        Turkey had a pretty good system for that until the solution was circumvented by religos

      They did dude. What do you think the 2nd amendment is for.

      Also, you say that like controlling all 3 branches is a small thing. It means you control the whole government…

        The weakness with the Second Amendment is that it effectively relies on a minority winning if it gets to that point. I hope I don’t have to point out that wars that come down to numbers rarely end well
