DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTION
Popular sovereignty means rule by the people as a collective.
Starts with a collective vision of We the People which in practice can only be the will of the majority.
First comes government, then comes individual rights granted by government.
“A Democratic Constitution is a living constitution whose meaning evolves to align with contemporary popular desires, so that today's majority is not bound by what is called "the dead hand of the past." The will of yesterday's majority cannot override the will of the majority today.”
(Our Republican Constitution, p21)
