The following link takes you to a plan put forth by TX Governor Greg Abbott, to propose amendments to our Constitution, to bring the balance of powers back to the founders original intent.
It's a very lengthy document, 93 pages with footnotes, but it's worth the read. It explains in detail why the amendments are needed and thoroughly explains how far our republic has strayed form its founding. It's both educational and informative. The proposals would have to be implemented through a Article 5 convention, the establishment in both parties would reject them out of hand, they wouldn't want to give back the power they've accumulated over the years.
I don't fully agree with the plan entirely but it's a place to start the discussion.
Please don't comment until you at least read the full summary, it's only 2.5 pages.

I like the idea that two-thirds of the states can either remove a federal law or establish one themselves. It just makes sense to me that the states should have some method to override the federal government.
