You think a quick find-and-replace in the Constitution is really what's needed here? What enforceable obligation, exactly, do you think this would create? Who would have standing and power to enforce it? How would you decide what's meeting this "responsibility" and what isn't?

“What enforceable obligation would this create?” The same kind enforceable obligations that exist everywhere else in law when someone is given a responsibility instead of a power: fiduciary duties trustee obligations standards of care breach tests remedies

This didn't need to be multiple threads, but ok let's do this. Saying 'it changes the legal category' without defining the mechanics of that category isn't legal argument. It's just vocabulary preference. You haven't changed how state power operates materially; you just slapped a nicer label on it.
