Podcast | The Constitution Drafting Project: A Discussion of Five New Amendment

In this week’s episode, we are sharing audio from a program hosted live from Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and presented in partnership with ASU’s Center for Constitution Design. The program centered around a discussion of the National Constitution Center’s landmark Constitution Drafting Project, and featured members from each project team-Georgetown Law’s Caroline Fredrickson of Team Progressive, the Goldwater Institute’s Timothy Sandefur of Team Libertarian, and ASU’s Ilan Wurman of Team Conservative. They discuss their approaches to constitution drafting, review points of consensus and disagreement, and reflect on the importance of cross-partisan dialogue in today’s constitutional environment. Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, moderates. This program was presented live on February 1, 2024.

Personally l think our greatest need is an amendment to regulate political parties. The two-party system has become an unregulated fourth branch of government. They should be given a defined (and quite narrow) role in government, and their financial role in elections should be strictly regulated.
Edit: Aside from the smoke-filled rooms and dark money scandals inherent in political parties generally, the two-party system is inherently polarizing. A multiparty system reduces the likelihood of the current gridlock and paralysis.
Why do we have only two parties? One theory is that having legislative districts, with one winner-take-all representative each, is inherently polarizing. Perhaps an amendment to allow larger districts, with three or five representatives per district, would encourage greater diversity of parties. Which in turn would attract more potential voters to participate in the process.

Ive seen more ppl who are calling for an amendment clearifing that constitutional rights only applies to humans and businesses are barred for having the rights of a human being !¡! As doing business in to USA is a privilege and not a right so businesses are subordinate to humans !!!
