Ah yes, it is in the Constitution:

"To establish Post Offices and post Roads"

Where does it specify a monopoly? Where does it say competition would be bad?

Many countries like Germany, Netherlands, Japan and more are pursuing paths of postal liberalization and privatization with great results. Fact is, the USPS is failing and sticking to the status quo will not work. The Constitution does not prohibit private mail, it just gives Congress permission to run its own postal system, which it is failing at.

I would check out the shipping rates in Germany before you define it as a "great result".
