My answer to the question is no, generally speaking. Why is Congress the first article in the constitution? Because the regime was designed in the summer of 1787 to be a democratic republic, a concept that really isn't right-wing or conservative, frankly speaking. A more authoritarian regime would have the executive as the first article; and a more aristocratic founding would have the judiciary as the first article. There are lots of little things I could mention, but I'll not. At the same time, there are lots of little things that are perfectly acceptable and could exist in a non-democratic and non-republican system such as federal regulation of interstate commerce, and the power to declare war.
Overall, a democratic republic should be opposed as insufficiently counterrevolutionary in its fundamental nature, not because it is a republic, but because it is democratic.
