The Democratic Party started a revolution in government
under President Franklin Roosevelt. (One assessment I
recall seeing is that 11 of 12 'planks' of the Socialist
Workers Party platform (1932?) were eventually
implemented by Democrats.)

The Republican Party started a revolution in government
under President Reagan. (Pass out all manner of tax
breaks to promote economic growth and, earlier, President
Nixon announced an end to President Lyndon Johnson's
"Great Society," another revolution, shortly before
Johnson's death.)

The Reform Party started a revolution in government
by trying to stop both the Democratic and Republican
Parties from promoting their revolutions.

What parties are not trying to start or continue a
revolution to suit their ends?

I think by definition, "Constitutional Law" is a field
of study and its application, though I might guess that
you intended lower case "c" and "l".

Article VI, clause 2, "This Constitution, and the laws
of the United States which shall be made in pursuance
thereof, ... shall be the supreme law of the land ...",
suggests that, if Congress could, in pursuance of 'this
Constitution' and without contradicting the First
Amendment, make a law effectively "abridging the
freedom of speech" of any political party, then, I
suppose ... well ... h'm ... sorry, I keep thinking we
need another revolution to throw the bums out.
