Does the constitution say that if the government fails to serve the people then replace it?
No, the Constitution doesn't say it, but the Declaration of Independence does. U.S. Government has failed to protect our rights and it is time to take back our rights and replace this government with one that will protect our rights.
In a strict interpretation of the Constitution the federal government has only what power?
The federal government has only the power to do exactly as the Constitution says. In George Washington's Presidency Alexander Hamilton who believed in loose construction believed that because the Constitution did not say that creating a national bank was illegal, then it could be done. Thomas Jefferson a believer of a strict interpretation believed that if it was not said in the Constitution that the Federal Government could make a National Bank then it is not allowed. The idea of strict and loose interpretation is fought about even to this day.
Which process is best defined as the power to say whether any federal state or local law or government action goes against the Constitution?
Judicial Review
Where does it state in the US Constitution that felons cannot possess firearms?
It does not say that in the Constitution. Felony firearm rights are a matter of Federal Law and state laws that say a person convicted of a felony shall not possess, use, transport, sell, purchase, carry, ship, receive, or distribute firearms.
Will changing the interpretation of the constitution make the constitution weak?
The Constitution can be changed. It is a difficult process and quite rightly so but the people can do away with the current constitution and start all over. Because it is difficult to redo a constitutional government, there are those, believing the constraints placed upon government and the freedoms acknowledged by the constitution make it impossible for government to govern. These are the people who reinterpret the Constitution in ways that allow government to expand the scope of their jurisdiction and legally disregard the natural rights of the people. It is one thing to take a liberal view of the Constitution and another thing entirely to claim the Constitution says what it does not say.
