Well, you could say that the Constitution is a kind of superego. It's interesting that Trump resents the ways in which it constrains him. He tries to get around it with surprising success thanks to sycophants like Barr et al.---

And that trait ingratiates with those amongst us who have base impulses for which we fear we might be shamed.
And that includes everyone. But then most of us have superegos that constrain us. Trump less so.Ah, but HIS is a SuperDuperEgo... just ask him, he'll tell ya!
I don't know what your stake (or dog in the fight or ... pick a metaphor) is regarding collective consciousness/awareness/intelligence/wisdom/action in the abstract but it seems your background would support having an opinion or more to the point a thought-through-thought or two on the topic.
If there are suitable parallels between individual consciousness and collective versions of it, what would be the superego of a culture, people, nation-state, etc.?
