In fairness the American legal profession IE lawyers is more about learning how to get around Constitutional law then it is about enforcing/applying constitutional law.
So I wouldn’t ask a lawyer to interpret the constitution as they will give you a bunch of court rulings that undermined the same constitution in favor of the power of the courts and the government thus by extension the lawyers that uses and dominate them.
This is not to say that there are not honest folk out there who happen to be lawyers by trade, its simply pointing out that the nature of their profession disinclines them to give an answer which is respectful of the reserved rights of the people.(including the right to self-government and State Constitutional government)
