Toward a New Great Compromise: How I would change the Constitution
I recently completed a project where I decided to rewrite the US constitution. The changes were designed to fix several problems in the design of the senate and the administrative state. When I started thinking about how the design of the Senate is flawed, I found out that George Mason was saying some of the very same things back in the constitutional convention of 1787!
I’ve posted it in several places for public comment. I believe that the new executive council is designed to fill executive offices better than the current role of the Senate provides, and will provide a more harmonious and prosperous future. I’d like to know what you think!

I talked about an update I made to the Veto Powers a few weeks later.
