Excuse me, we are to compare a constitution that never worked, with one that did (for a while, at least)?
That would also eliminate the IRS=KGB. And Freedom would reign, THE PEOPLE would be in charge and jobs would skyrocket....
Sorry, the russians are not my people.
The Soviet Constitution shared more than a few similarities with the US constitution. The rights to property, private correspondence, freedom of religion & conscience, equality before the law, and the right to earn/keep earnings and to leave inheritances are there.
Riiiiight!
Oh, they enforced it, all the way to Gulags.
That's what Hussein is doing to US.
What property? Government owned EVERYTHING!
Private correspondence? 100% censorship of mail and phones. (If there were any)
Freedom of religion and conscience? Just ask destroyed Ukrainian Church and Sacharov's "conscience". "Freedom" in Gulags in Siberia.
awww, fuggetaboutit. Just got out of Putin's "Lie to the world" school???
Chapter 2:
Article 3. Its fundamental aim being abolition of all exploitation of man by man, complete elimination of the division of society into classes, merciless suppression of the exploiters, socialist organization of society, and victory of socialism in all countries, the Third All-Russia Congress of Soviets of Workers', Soldiers' and Peasants' Deputies further resolves:
Pursuant to the socialization of land, private land ownership is hereby abolished, and all land is proclaimed the property of the entire people and turned over to the working people without any redemption, on the principles of egalitarian land tenure.
All forests, mineral wealth and waters of national importance, as well as all live and dead stock, model estates and agricultural enterprises are proclaimed the property of the nation.
The Soviet laws on workers' control and on the Supreme Economic Council are hereby confirmed in order to guarantee the power of the working people over the exploiters and as a first step towards the complete conversion of factories, mines, railways and other means of production and transportation into the property of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Republic.
The Third Congress of Soviets regards as a first blow at international banking, financial capital, the Soviet law on the annulment of loans negotiated by the governments of the tsar, the landlords and the bourgeoisie and expresses confidence that Soviet power will be advancing steadfastly along this road until the complete victory of an international workers' uprising against the rule of capital.
To ensure the sovereign power of the working people and to rule out any possibility of restoration of the power of the exploiters, the arming of the working people, the creation of a socialist Red Army of workers and peasants, and the complete disarming of the propertied classes are hereby decreed.
—Under the original provisions of the Constitution, senators were elected by state legislatures; this was intended to prevent the federal government from indirectly absconding with the powers and funds of the states—
The foresight of the Founders was nothing short of amazing. Maybe it’s because they had reverence for God.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion.
29. Discredit the American Constitution...
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers…
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
40. Discredit the family as an institution.

DISMANTLE/DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic. DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic.
6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt…
9. The management of a great funded debt and a extensive system of taxes will afford a plea, not to be neglected, for establishment of a great incorporated bank. the use of such a machine is well understood. If the Constitution, according to its fair meaning, should not authorize it, so much the better. Push it through by a forced meaning and you will get in the bargain an admirable precedent for future misconstructions.
11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

Oh. Wait.
That's why they put in the Tenth Amendment. It's up to us, the people, who are expected to be the final physical barrier against such.
The North Korean constitution reads a lot like ours but they obviously do not follow it at all.
I read the Soviet constitution back in high school and wondered the same thing myself. Funny as it was all a lie just like the rest of communism.
