Question
Is an unamendable constitution undemocratic?
Position3 of 3

It's a pointless question

This position holds that asking whether an unamendable constitution is undemocratic is a pointless question. It argues that states already bound by such a constitution have no alternative at this point — so debating its democratic merits changes nothing in practice.

  1. There is no alternative
    For states that already have an unamendable constitution, there is no alternative. Therefore, the question is pointless as it has no practical application.
