Sacralization of the Constitution

At times, the sacralization of the Constitution leads to a sort of theocracy. The Constitution becomes a divine and untouchable law, no longer a law subject to modification, albeit through specific procedures. Above all, there exists a caste that considers itself the guardian of its interpretation, which becomes increasingly pervasive and all-encompassing. It seems to me that there is a tendency to constitutionalize the prevailing opinions of the moment, and this appears contrary to the principles of a democratic constitution.

Democracy, in fact, is based on the freedom of opinion, so that those who are currently in the minority can become the majority and vice versa. With the Woke trend, however, it seems to me that any, even vague, dissent from prevailing opinions becomes an unforgivable fault.
