As originally framed, the constitution was a vehicle to limit the powers of the federal government. Criminal law enforcement was delegated to the states via the first amendment. Over the years the state courts have become increasingly federalized.

The Constitution, as seen in the eyes of Americans, is an outdated man-made piece of paper that does not really apply today.
The Constitution is the supreme law of the United States. It outlines the framework and principles of the government and guarantees certain rights and freedoms for citizens.
The Constitution was written in 1787 by a group of delegates known as the Founding Fathers at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.
The Constitution serves as the foundation for the US government and creates a system of checks and balances to ensure no one branch of government becomes too powerful. It also protects individual rights and defines the powers of the federal government.
The Constitution can be amended through a process outlined in Article V, which requires a proposal by either two-thirds of both houses of Congress or a national convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures. The proposed amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures or special ratifying conventions in three-fourths of states.
The Constitution can be changed through the amendment process, but it is a difficult and deliberate process designed to ensure the Constitution remains a stable and consistent governing document. The Supreme Court can also interpret the Constitution and make changes through its decisions, but these changes are subject to the amendment process.
