You're missing the point.

A constitution is formalization of a set of societal/cultural principles and ideals that the country should strive to achieve.

It didn't work for the USSR. Idealism only gets you so far; if you've got a piece of paper saying "we should try to do this" it doesn't mean you're ever going to try to do it.

I also acknowledge that I have read this comment, but don't really want to reply to it. (I'll assume that's what you usually mean by "K", since it makes the most sense.)
