A significant portion of the population see it as one of the many things that embodies the "American Way" which we've lost from the good old days. This then translates to the media, and then to the rest of the population.
Personally, I'm somewhat cynical of the Constitution and wish that we just rewrote and clarified a bunch of the stuff in it (especially in the second amendment, because of how vague it it). Unfortunately, it's a Sacred Cow so that will never happen.
