can you (or anyone here) explain how the constitution prevents it.
this isn't meant to be a challenge, i am just really curious and ignorant
Quote:
Article V
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

I would have thought that something along the following lines could occur:
- the population want a theocracy.
- they vote in representatives at house and state level that represent their view.
- they vote for a president who supports their views and he elects a supreme court that does too.
- an ammendment is table to become a theocracy and it is passed with 2/3 of both houses and 3/4 of the states.
- the supreme court do not overturn the amendment (can they overtrun amendments or just laws??)
- the constitution has been amended and there need be no more elections.
