The goal of a revolution isn't to create a great government. We already had that. The goal is to get those who have taken over government and usurped power out of government and to make all who serve in government fear for thier lives if they step out of line and work toward the best interests of politically influencial campain contributers rather than the best interest of the people.
The Constitution is only a piece of paper. It can't defend itself. Dishonest people have failed to uphold and defend it and actually worked against it. The lazy, apathetic, and ignorant have allowed it to happen. The stupid will always outnumber the intelligent.
The approach is clear. Keep government limited to defending rights, but not defining them or limiting them. Put the rights of the people above all things, and don't allow the desires of millions to infringe upon the rights of a single person.
People need to be educated as to the difference between rights and privileges. They also should learn that nobody's needs entitle them to steal from others and to use government to do it so they sleep better at night.
