Generally, every modern written constitution confers specific powers to an organization or institutional entity, established upon the primary condition that it abides by the said constitution's limitations. According to Scott Gordon, a political organization is constitutional to the extent that it "contain[s] institutionalized mechanisms of power control for the protection of the interests and liberties of the citizenry, including those that may be in the minority."[7]
You know that even the constitution itself can be changed right?
Does the constitution have any authority to begin with?
Want to see a piece of paper that gives me the RIGHT to rob you? You don't believe there is such a thing? Are you SURE you don't believe it?
The real authority are the people that make up the population of the country.

The only problem with that is; nowhere in the Constitution or within the body of laws passed since this country's inception, is there a law making it illegal for anyone to pass or enforce a law which contradicts the Constitution.
Unfortunately, we have to rely on the very ones who spend their whole day passing uncostitutional laws to put such a law into effect.
In other words; Its never gonna happen.
