Dangerously faulty reasoning here. Your argument relies upon the voluntary restraint of government and voters. According to your logic, we could get rid of the federal constitution and just have faith that the federal government won't trample on individual rights either.

Are you really comfortable with your only protection being a state constitution which can be amended by simple majority vote? Suppose the 51% decides one day that they don't like the 49% so much.

If we could rely on the restraint of government and/or the electorate in perpetuity, we wouldn't need any legal protection of individual rights.

No more faulty than Rabidchickenlittle's lunacy.
