I love the constitution but it was written to limit the power of government. The tyranny we face today comes largely from and through corporations, which the constitution holds no power over. Do we need a new, additional, type of constitution to protect us from corporations and if so should we wait on Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates to draft it for us?

But those corporations are now inextricable from the state. We do not have anything resembling Capitalism or the free market. Lawmaking has been delegated to agencies, NGOs, corporations and terrorist groups in order to make it invisible and unaccountable, but the lines of power all trace back to the state. This is nothing new. The founders who wrote the constitution were well acquainted with centuries of exactly this kind of corruption.

Good points. But how is the constitution supposed to be applied when they outsource tyranny to corporations?

2nd amendment. The right to throw off the tyrants.
