Thomas Jefferson:
….were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers & be capable of reading them.

It actually does. It empowers us to change our government by force if necessary.
“The Constitution doesn’t contemplate what to do when one branch or body of government has been overtaken by those who hate the US and intend to burn it to the ground to remake it into a Socialist dream.”
Sure it does. See Amendment the Second.
