The responsibility of politicians is towards the people, not towards the constitution.

Do you mean to the current people? and/or the future generations? and/or the past ones?

The current people, and the future generations inasmuch as their well-being is relevant and important to the current ones.
For example, what do you think about the current constitutional issues in Argentina? do you agree with the supreme court ruling?
Are we talking about the judicial system reform? I believe the current system of choosing the magistrate is quite bad, but the alternative that's being suggested is rife with it's own problems. As such, I don't think it's worth changing the constitution. I really like the current composition of the Supreme Court, and I trust their decision. I do think there are ways to change the system for the best, and I hope there'll be a joint effort to come up with a better alternative to the current system.
