Stricter?!? OP, shit is the way it is because we aren’t following the damn thing in the first place. Making it stricter is like making murder doubly illegal but failing to get courts to enforce in the first place.

That's why we need to learn from the mistakes of the past and start over in Republican-dominated areas. No more mob rule. No more "general welfare clause". Make it explicit that the government can only do X, Y, and Z, and anyone advocating anything else is violating the Constitution.

The constitution already does that. “General welfare” had a certain meaning as does regulate. Stuff is already so much in gross violation as is written now that all you’d be doing is making violations doubly illegal without increasing safeguards. The reality is no system can withstand people not actively trying to maintain it.
