They had some good ideas, but they also had some really bad ideas.

I'd vote for a candidate who campaigned to repeal the Second Amendment.
You're viewing a single thread.
How do constitutional alterations happen there? Is it by referendum like Australia (where everyone's opinion matters) or is it by some arbitrary majority in the houses of congress (where only the elite political class' opinion matters)?
An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.
So basically only the political and by extension the upper class get to decide the rules by which they play. Sounds really fair. FREEDOM!!!
