I would love to see a constitution drafted for a fictional country.

Not a constitution, but I did a little something like this for the Declaration of Independence: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12021461

Good luck with that. There are too many belief sets, even for things like basic freedoms, for everyone to fall under a single law effectively.

Any effort to do so will lead to tyranny.

I think you've missed a key word in the comment you're replying on: fictional Constitution.

It's just a process that would lead to some interesting outcome. Nobody's suggesting anything about enforcing that outcome to anyone.

Oh. Fair enough.
