The absolute unawareness of what is written in the Constitution. Less than one in five adult Americans has ever read the document. So, as a result, they have no idea how the three branches of the Federal government work and what the powers given to those three branches are.
This is especially evident when it comes to the job of President. Although the duties of that office are clearly spelled out in Article Two of the Constitution we have been carefully conditioned since the Spring of 1933 to look on the President as some sort of "Federal Wizard King".
Liberty can only be preserved through active citizenship. And the citizens of this nation are about as active as a comatose turtle!

Ignoring the issues and not voting.
Any one branch of the government - Executive, Legislative, or Judicial - become too strong and riding roughshod on the other.
A single party in power everywhere.
Paranoia.
Devaluation of the dollar associated with the mounting deficit. We owe more countries than ever.
A failing educational system that is not preparing the youth for tomorrow's challenges.

Apathy, non participation in the primaries or elections and electing candidates who vote the party and not that of their constituents(. Legislators who do not do their jobs) A prime example is immigration. The Dems dropped the ball like a hot potato. Border protection Dominici doesn't vote for the fence. Too many" mexes" in New Mexico. Might offend the illegals. Isn't amazing that every one has rights ecxept the legal citizens who are footing the bills. Crappy run cities like New Haven, CT and New York City become sanctuary cities supporting illegals with American tax dollars.

The cheap-skate glory of idol worshiping the dead Mummy of failures and horrors of the past from the graveyards of different ghostly ancestor's culture and custom with self oppression and slavery as success of the past in kicking the butts of God in not worshiping God.
With total loss of our creator's universal gifts of life vital for the survival and advancement of living human kind.

Resorting to fanciful voting of undeserving candidates to Presidency who resort to bullying own party, country's legislature and the entire world and nothing worth while could be done due to limitation of the US political system.
