It does nothing on its own. And the current elite clearly do not care about such promises...

Your appeal to the Constitution is simply impotent and strikes me as a little sad.. we are not 3ven ruled by the same KIND of people as we were in 1779. Talking about the Constitution is about as useful as talking about the reforms of Julius Caesar.
The Constitution was routinely violated after 1913.  A short list of things in the U.S. that blatantly Violate the Constitution

Marbury vs Madison (judicial review)
creation of the Federal Reserve
the Patriot Act
every war since 1960 ( Congress declares war, not the president according to the Constitution)
Citizens United ruling

the fact that we keep a standing army at all is against the Constitution if it is longer than 2 years

Article I, Section 8, Clause 12: [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years; . .

the constant appeals to a document that has been basically ignored for a century is pretentious and laughable
