If you know me on this site well enough, you know my answer.
that we should bring the constitution to life as a real world frankenstein's monster?
Don't soldiers who die in war basically sacrifice their life for the constitution? So I guess some people value the constitution more. If we had anarchy, most of us would probably be dead anyway or at best our lives would really suck, so I guess there is reason to follow the rule of law even if it means some lives are lost.
