You are just telling me what the current state of the law is and how society is currently run. I agree that is the world we live in. I am making a prescriptive argument about how I think we ought to do things. Maybe my argument is weak; I’ll keep trying.

My take is that the word "just" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. I'm not super interested in debating alternate constitutions; personally, I for the most part like the one we have. I might not be your best discussion partner on this.
