Some interesting thoughts there, Richard, but Sunday had already been the standard day of worship for Christians PRIOR TO Constantine, and that fact is also presented to us in God's revealed word, Scripture, which we all know was recorded long before Constantine came along.
This is the part where the obvious question comes up (as it has many times) - "where is there even one
- 'week-day-1 is our weekly day of worship'
- or 'week day 1 is the Lord's day',
- or 'week day 1 replaces the 7th day for the Sabbath commandment'
- or 'we meet every week-day-1 for worship'
- or 'we preach the Gospel to you today on Sabbath so you can meet with us tomorrow from now on - on week - day 1' (given that they "met every Sabbath" for continued gospel preaching to both gentiles and Jews in Acts 18:4)
And the much expected answer would be "there was a discussion on that very point - some place else"

Indeed. Whether one loves Constantine, hates him, or is merely indifferent, his impact on this particular aspect of Christianity is non-existant.
