The crisis of US democracy is also a constitutional crisis. Many provisions of the most time-honoured of all constitutions now appear to be outdated and in urgent need of reform. However, no substantial reform of the US constitution is to be expected. The US constitution makes its change dependent on excessively high hurdles. The historical US model, which shaped constitutional development in Europe like no other, should be a warning to the European Union in particular. Dangers of petrification can also be clearly seen in the EU constitutional order.
