      We collectively decide what the constitution means.

      Mostly the Supreme Court decides, of course, but we can vote for presidents that will pick justices that agree with us and congressional reps that will impeach justices that don’t.

      Congress shall make no law respecting can be interpreted in different ways. Every part of the constitution is open to interpretation.

        I’m sorry, but if your argument is that the constitution means everything and nothing depending on “us collectively” than you don’t really understand it.
