The Constitution has been violated on a daily basis more or less since the day it was ratified, so why hasn't the citizenry revolted at any point in the past 200+ years?

they did. it was called the civil war. maybe you've heard of it. There has also been several local revolts in this country after the civil war. These were not successful because it ended up being one small group of citizens against a superior armed military contingent. It was for these specific reasons that the 2nd was written. It is also the very same reason why the government has infringed upon it and the less concerned citizens allow it.
It's been over 100 years since the last serious revolt. history dictates that it's almost time for another one.
