[close] Welcome! It is an easy time to sit around and be frustrated with our system. Everyone talks about it. Conversations revolve around statements like, "They've totally corrupted the government" or "We have to get our system back on track." But what would you do about it? More interestingly, if you were cast into the role of one of the authors of the Constitution, what would you do differently to ensure a government truly focused on the needs of the people and the country? I have posed these questions to myself, as well as the natural followup questions: OK, if you have a better idea, how could it be brought about? Who would fight it? What other forces might be out there attempting to do something similar? And, left unchecked, where does the current system end up? If you have ideas or references to books that help answer this question please let them be known.
