Constitutional conservatives are those Americans who cling to the antiquated notion that our nation was intended to be a constitutional republic.

Therein starts most of their problems. It was actually meant to be a Union of many constitutional republics. That's a different animal entirely than one Constitutional Republic.

It was actually meant to be a Union of many constitutional republics, -- a union with a basic [& supreme] bill of unalienable rights..

As you say, -- "Therein starts most of their problems." -- Many states thought they had the power to ignore individual constitutional rights.
