The problem is that laws and clauses of the constitution only provide protection if there is political will to allow it to do so.

The second that the people in power have no actual political will to follow them, the fact that laws exist provides no protection.

Even if there were no political will, the judiciary could enforce the protection, for eg by striking down unconstitutional laws.
