Yes.
However, the country that OP is discussing ceased to exist and thus its founding documents are pretty much irrelevant.
Do you believe the constitution created the collapse of the USSR? Are you arguing against full employment guarantees, equality of the sexes and ethnicities, etc? What specifically is your point on why the USSR dissolved, do you think the democratic process by which the constitution was drafted caused it to dissolve?
Regardless of how or why it failed, the constitution and the society it represented, failed to secure the continued existence of the country.
A constitution is not the only way to form a country and the two examples you gave both ended up with a despot in charge.
You have not at all connected your claims to the evidence you believe supports them. That's my point.
Agree, history is completely irrelevant today is the only thing that matter!
