And, by cracky, what we need is ideology, here:
Abraham Lincoln watched [democracy] dissolve in the early years of his presidency, but he understood that the real foundation of the U.S. was an ideological enterprise, not a material nuts-and-bolts one. For him, the Declaration of Independence was a more important founding document than the Constitution, even though that's what the inconclusive political fights leading up to the Civil War had all been about.
To these people just as to Lincoln, the Constitution is the problem.
Reminds me of no one so much as Obama. Definitely a Yankee that guy is.
