Right. Things change. The issue right now isn't a document. It's shared interests. We have a group of people, even people with different political priorities, who have a shared interest. We also have a group of people whose interest is in thwarting the interests of the first group. A political system is always inefficient, but it operates counter to the people's interests when it is usurped by a group who has no existential dependence on that system at all. A document means nothing if we aren't actually bonded by something more abstract and fundamental. Diversity is a nightmare. Putting anyone in leadership (ala the corporate model) whose own ship doesn't sink or swim with that enterprise's success is a recipe for disaster. Mutual stakes. Mutual skin in the game. That's the only balance.
