the electoral college- should it be changed?

I'll second this as a fine idea. I would couple it with a proposal floated some years ago that the order of states in the primaries should be in descending order of voter turnout. In other words, if Rhode Island has a 43% voter turnout, they'll vote after Maine, which had a 44% turnout.

The thing I like about this is that it awards participation and punishes apathy. Good things, yes?

That wouldn't work because it would create a vicious cycle.

The United States Constitution and its amendments.

None of our rights come from the constitution or its amendments. Some of them are stated there, that's all.




I like the electoral college and the two party system. They both work pretty well.
