You have zero credibility calling Americans' understanding of our Constitution "ignorant."
that would only apply if you guys were principled, and put up the same kind of resistance when your government eroded your constitutional rights with the PATRIOT act for example (according to gun nut lore, your precious firearms could have helped you do that, strangely enough no gun lover did anything about it) - but you aren't, those are just lazy excuses because in reality it's not the constitution you care about, but guns.
also, let's not forget that the constitution once also explicitly acknowledged and even protected slavery - and there sure as hell were many people who hid behind the 'i'm just principled about our precious constitution' narrative to support it.
