There are only two forms of government and the rest are simple variations of the same theme. There are governments that concentrate power and lead to tyranny. There are governments that dilute power and grant liberty. Those who love liberty always distrust concentrations of power. Tyrannies invariably make a beeline to control the media, the military and security forces and the power to legislate.
Marxist tyrannies add private property to the control recipe.
Systems of government that promote liberty do exactly the opposite. The greater the dilution of power, the greater the chance that liberty will prevail. The founders of the United States knew this only too well and they labored mightily to find a system that would serve the needs of the newborn republic and the needs of the individual. That is the genius of the Constitution, and of its system of checks and balances that included federalism and states rights. Totalitarian regimes are not ignorant of the usefulness of a constitution but they use it exactly for the opposite objective.
