Invite Patrick Henry.
I would have had Franklin say this first rather than last:
In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other.
There is a proposed amendment out there that would have congressional districts set at 50,000 residents instead of the current 800,000. Gerrymandering matters less when the districts are smaller. The Founders proposed it back in the day.
I would propose that all elected federal officials have a limit of three terms.
In a country of over 300 million people, I’d be worried about having 6,000 members of Congress.
A line item veto.
Changes in federal salaries must be approved by a majority of state legislatures within one year of proposing such a change.
Any mandate of expenditures on the states by the federal government should be paid for by the federal government.
As a source of possible alternatives, I recommend looking at Max Farrand’s “The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787” to see all the points that were discussed, many of which were rejected. I’m reading through volume 1 at the moment. It’s available on the web and I’ve downloaded all 3 volumes to my Kindle. The discussions are interesting to follow and give a somewhat more detailed analysis of what was on the minds of the Framers than you might find in The Federalist Papers.
