Oh look! A bunch of us got together and created a new charter for the US Government!!!
That's nice kid. Now go away
The evolution of what has gone wrong is not as easy to follow as the legends of what has gone right, but ultimately, it is a very safe bet that none of the subsisting political parties are prepared to be the benevolent oligarchy to guide us to the American Dream and prove that the system designed over two hundred years ago, and then adjusted by amendments here and there, is finally going to work correctly, because the smart people are finally going to be able to put the right people in the right places. We know that is a delusion, because the path to tranquility is more often imagined to have an orderly approach with enlightening effects, lots of social pleasantries, and hints of harmony. Whereas, the political scientists are describing the possibilities of civil war, political coups, and domestic terrorism. We are enduring hysterical protests, and increased social disorderliness, and there is nothing about the civil activities of Americans that suggests that we are accurately guiding the approach to domestic tranquility.
Something is wrong with the governing system, and it is not just because of the people who are in it. The American Experiment somehow nurtures those nefarious people, as well as the honest and humble. The problem is complex and it is not going to solve itself.
