USA:
Prison slavery abolished
Elected judges with term limits
Ranked Choice Voting
Bodily autonomy as a right (no banning abortions, gender transitioning, bionics)
Separation of Church and State as the actual law of the land
Add federal referendums, all constitutional amendments are referendums (but amendments still require 75% of the population)
Districts are now no bigger than 50,000 people and they all get a representitive, and all the recognized Amerindian tribes also get their own reps (an agreement was made with the Cherokee for them to get one but it was never fulfilled)
2nd Amendment replaced with something that directly allows federal government to regulate but not ban firearms.
I’m not big on elected judges. I’d rather keep them appointed so they wouldn’t have to pander to anyone.
Appointed judges already failed to prevent that.
Yeah I know, but elections are an overcompensation. Adding term limits and throwing in some anti-corruption reforms would be better I think.
