The Constitution is a first attempt to erect a framework within which those aspirations could be realized.

The Articles of Confederation were actually the first attempt, but its deficiencies showed up fairly quickly and it was supplanted by the Constitution.

The Constitution, with later amendments has lasted for over 200 years. Some say it’s getting long in the tooth and was not designed to face the issues faced by a country of 340 million people who are facing the particular challenges that we face in a connected, technological world.
