I am saying that to my political science students, and I go another step: The law and the constitution isn't a text. The constitution is the set of attitudes and behaviors of a political society.

Whether it's the 14th Amendment or the Administrative Procedures Act, whatever a society thinks it wants to enshrine in a text, if it doesn't also a) ensure civic literacy, b) possess good media and information, and c) maintain healthy political support for those texts... those commitments wither.
