In effect it is. The constitution is just a piece of paper without the Will of the People to uphold it.
Why has it been upheld for so long? And unchanged? It's a distributed legal document, and throughout history, legal precedent has built on top of legal precedent. Remember, back in 1791 women couldn't vote, slavery existed, native Americans weren't citizens, judicial review didn't exist, freedoms of the press hadn't been established, non-property owners couldn't vote, homosexuality was punished, etc.

I hope you are right and that the principle will be restored.
