The only tweek I would make is term limits...from there springs all hope for the republic.

The art of the possible, in a system that allows for us to have this meaningless, jujune spat, is better than any alternative.
In your studies, what did you find in the Articles of Confederation that would not be an improvement over that which we have now?

I find that the Constitution has so many loopholes through which government itself can drive through as to be meaningless over the long run, and I think history proves that I am correct. The federal government has defined its' own limitations over the 200+ years of its' existence, and there is no sign of that stopping, much less reversing course.

It will not matter which men take the helm.
