I don’t think so - though I don’t think it matters, small states are often times just as bad as big states - and I have reasons to believe that whenever anyone says, “we need to get back to the Constitution” they do so only because it’s a common blurb heard among other likeminded minarchists and pro-liberty types.
What do you think?
Does it really matter? It’s a piece of paper. Absent a will to abide by it, that is all it remains.

The constitution is based on socialism.
The Articles were better but they still gave too much power to state governments.
I’d say its really more of a Conservative document, spreading power as opposed to centralizing it (or abolishing it).
