Trees for Treason: Make treason a crime again and the death penalty for those who commit it. Make the DOJ investigate and enforce this and other laws already on the books. Bribery should be considered a form of treason as it is a form of undue influence.
Corporate Corruption and Influences Act: Enforce the ending of monopolies, arrest corrupt people, execute the leaders of 'too big to fail' firms for sinking economies, yada yada yada.
Government Overreach: Anything that's not already in the constitution, the government must appeal to the populace to give them those powers and they can only be temporary and never renewed.
Purity Tests For Journalists: The 4th estate is basically untouchable by law and civil courts. They are a law unto themselves. Therefore, they must prove themselves worthy of such a stance through a simple yet rigorous screening of their actions every 6 months or they are stripped of their cloaks of journalistic priesthood.
