The Constitution has many roots in the Articles of the Confederation. In a way the constitution, while different, is based in its predessor. While not giving the central government power to tax, the Articles give a large amount of power to the people. The constitutuion advocates standing armies while the Articles advocate militas, this gives power to indiviual states in the form of militias instead of the government having all the power.
To clarify, one must understand the major and minor parties involved. The major parties include North Korea (obviously), South Korea, Japan, China, Russia, and the United States. The Major parties are the countries which have the most invested in this conflict/have the most at stake and who can benefit from keeping the conflict alive.
The only way that this situation could be handled is for all parties concerned to be allowed a metaphorical "slice of the pie", this is due to the complex nature of the situation. Although most favorable to no party involved, compromise is essential in complex/confusing situations of this nature.
