So you're saying government knows its limitations?

I am not really into personification. Playing with legal fictions is a topic for children.

If so, there wouldn't be a need for the constitution.

The British are quite proud that they have no written constitution although they refer frequently to their "constitution". Americans are quite proud of their written constitution but abrogated it in 1868 to a greatly truncated form in the (4) paragraphs called the 14th amendment. This amendment entirely threw out the organic constitution and what today is referred to as "the constitution" is either virturally unwritten or is made firm by a million lines of statute law.

In any event the only reason to have a constitution is to pass the federal debt along to the several States that passed into bankruptcy around 1971.
