How can we perceive the Constitution differently so that we can conceive it
differently? Well, we can perceive it as a document consisting of a complete
governmental system enclosed within its four corners. Nothing is left out of
the four corner perception. Everything is included, the Preamble, the Body,
the original Amendments as well as the latter ones. The first thing we notice
is that it consists of three branches, each with a specific purpose and a
specific function. The function of the different branches is to try to accomplish
the democratic principles held together as a triad and the stated purposes in the
Preamble. This is its basic form. No changes of the existing Constitution are
being suggested, only that the existing Constitution needs to be conceived in
such a way as to lessen the impact of the so-called Linguistic Turn and
Postmodernism. Why do we have to do that? Obviously, because both the so-
called Linguistic Turn and Postmodernism have contaminated language.
According to the non-correspondent and representational theories, language
no longer corresponds nor represents "reality". Its an empty vacous phonetic
sound. To make things worse, the language that politicians use is so convoluted
that, even if the Turn did not exist, political language has got to change. The
language of persuasion has been supplanted with the language of advertising.
Political language must become more numeric. Democracy is about many
people and they all have to be addressed or its not democracy.
So, how do we conceive the Constitution? We conceive it as a triadic structure
that allows a Top to govern all the people at the Bottom, but for the purposes
provided in the Preamble, and the sides or the Judiciary modulates the relation of
government that connects the Top to the Bottom in an inclusively real way. We
conceive all these relations as numeric and geometric and as inclusive of a
government that is in fact governing a People. Party loyalty has no place in this
approach. Only loyalty to the Constitution will suffice.
