Reason: None provided.
First, additional bills of rights for the modern era:
- Right to bodily autonomy (including medical autonomy)
- Right to privacy (online data, right to be deleted, right to be anonymous online) - this would render the Patriot Act unconstitutional
- Right to online speech (applying 1st amendment to online public forums)
Second, place some limits on existing things that have gotten out of control:
- Curtail the power of the administrative state and restore congress as lawmakers as opposed to unelected bureaucrats
- Restrict eminent domain to prevent property acquired through eminent domain from being transferred to private companies
- Amend the commerce and tax clauses to remove the quasi-police power granted to the federal government during the post-Lochner era - this would render Social Security and Medicare unconstitutional which would fix our budget crisis
- Reduce the ability of congress to pass omnibus bills i.e. something like a one-bill one-purpose rule
- Amend the war powers clause to re-enshrine that Congress is the body that declares war.
- Amend the Treasury Clause to render the private Fed unconstitutional and re-enshrine the Treasury as the sole body that is permitted to control monetary policy and print money
Third, limit corruption:
- Ban the revolving door of public official later working for private enterprises that they were supposed to be regulating i.e. 5-10 year prohibition on working in the same private sector as you were working in government
- Reorganize federal presidential elections to occur during a much shorter time-frame
Fourth, correct existing amendments:
- Repeal the 23rd amendment and abolish the District of Columbia as being a separate entity from the states - can be placed into Virginia or Maryland
- Amend the 26th amendment to be 25 years old i.e. the age your brain is fully developed
