Add These Amendments to the U.S. Constitution 

I think the one about equal rights based on sex especially since there has been a large amount support on this issue

My only criticism would be the preventing gerrymandering on only political beliefs, as race could be interpreted as non-political. Instead, it is better to include political beliefs on the list instead, otherwise we may have a semantics argument in court.

@Julian Payne Someone who isn't able to vote for themselves at age 16 and ignore what their parents tell them isn't able to do the same thing at age 18.

@Julian Payne Scotland and Austria have lowered the voting age to 16 in recent years with tremendous success. In Scotland’s case, during the buildup to the Scotland Independence Referendum, they made a 1 time exception allowing 16 and 17 year olds to vote in the referendum because it would be one of the biggest changes to come to Scotland in centuries. The turnout was so high among 16 and 17 YO’s was so high that the Scottish Parliament changed the law to lower the voting age to 16 for Scotland National and local elections shortly there after. The debate has spread to the rest of the UK since.

The equal rights amendment seems to the most likely to pass next. I think it would better if sexual orientation were added to it.

Woah, that's a little too early for my comfort level. :)

@@James-bw7rk At one point it was. Then the patriot act and all of the rights went out the window.

Brilliant idea

I disagree. I thing this would exacerbate problems with lobbyists. A lot of lobbyists get involved because of a lack of dedicated committee staffers so Congress members go to think tanks for advice and to write bills for them which feed Congress members corrupt ideas and messaging. Sure, I think term limits for representatives is a good idea, but politicians are not actually that good at public policy, that is why staffers write the laws and stuff, according to what their politicians ask them to do, but lobbyists write them how their employers ask them to do. Instead I would add an amendment banning lobbyists and staffers & representatives from interchanging, to end the revolving door, and also require that at least 48 hours elapse between when a bill's text is published and when the vote happens.

Not sure what kind of limits could, should be put, it is an expansive power but it already has the political limit that Presidents can be (aside from November-January of last term) punished by the voters in next election for doing something too controversial or self-serving so they do tend to check, limit themselves.

Aka rewording the 4th amendment

There is no way the US government (or any other government actually) would pass such a law. It's the nature of government to want to know as much about you as they possibly can know.

i want stronger language: Congress shall make no law infringing the right to privacy of any person. Or add privacy to the list of speech, press, and assembly.

Add privacy to the list of speech, press, and assembly in the first amendment. I'm sure the founders never thought it would come to this, but there is no longer a presumptive right to privacy except in persons (search), houses, papers, and effects. Unless you can get a sleepy judge to sign a warrant in the middle of the night.

@@torid5892 Well, there goes taxes

@@Kujakuseki01 Why because the courts have never made a mistake?

Yeah, because people keep votin for them. We shouldn’t limit who the voters can pick from

The trouble is… people kind of don’t care. It’s well-known that incumbency gives a lot of electoral advantages, and people rate their own representatives higher than those outside their difference (all else being equal). Party labels signal a lot for people who are more concerned with getting their kids to school on time or competing for a promotion at work than actually going through the candidates with a fine tooth comb. With some exceptions, when general elections come around people just don’t care who exactly is sitting in the seat as long as she’s on their team.

You call that a long term? My state has Mitch McConnell. 😂

And if Biden's been in the senate for 47 years. Term limits sound like a good idea, but they presume that one particular office is the only office that has influence. If you only let me serve two six-year terms in the Senate (or only one), then I can hop right over to the House. Or to a state governorship, or a cabinet position, or the like. It's perfectly possible to obey strict term limits and still stay in government for your entire life. Want to make 'term limits' cover total time in any office? Say goodbye to most of our presidents. Indeed, only four presidents haven't held office as legislators, state governors, cabinet members, and/or at least vice presidents before becoming president (even Washington was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses, the colony legislature the king eventually abolished, for almost 20 years): Zachary Taylor, Ulysses Grant, and Dwight D. Eisenhower (who were still in government--just as military officers rather than elected officials)..... and President Trump. I get the idea, and it's true that a lot of politicians would basically get their grounding and their practical education in the real world, serve for a few years and then go home to live under the laws they made. But even back in the first days of our nation many people made government their life-long career. Henry Clay, for example, was a Representative from Kentucky from 1811-1825, then Secretary of State until 1829, then Senator right up until he died in 1852. John Sherman, brother to the famous terrorist, was a Representative, then Secretary of the Treasury, then Senator, running 42 years in all. The best way to reduce lifetime government officials is to remove the attraction of it. Reduce the government until there's little to no power in it, until the good people see better ways they can help the world and the bad people can't make a profit, and people will find those alternatives on their own.

It probably made sense to them at the time because the voting population was so small and relatively homogenous in those days. It wasn't as difficult to get a majority of the land-owning white male population to agree on something. Now that we are a much more inclusive society, getting a plurality of citizens to agree on anything is an immense undertaking.

@@deliriousdavies7552 Yeah, they'll just have to do something like make a popular proposal that considers all groups equally instead of leveraging power against other groups in an organized political movement. Like a good 3 or 4 of this guy's amendments would drastically shift the power away from all of the red states, then the blue states would try to amend even more on to shift power more. I understand that if you're blue you want this, if you're red you don't. I think that letting amendments be easier so that amendments like these that drastically alter the country and centralize power in a few cities would be a disaster. 3/4ths needed to ensure that an amendment will be accepted by the most people possible is absolutely necessary. Merely 2/3rds is ridiculous and I don't see a reason to oppress minority opinions that much.

Honestly that's a good idea, we already have minimum ages for most political positions (Possibly all, Idk), So why not have maximum ages as well?

14.5% of the country elects 41 senators. 18% elects 51 senators. Midterms find 46% turnout so 14.5% becomes 7% and 4% of the country wins 41 seats to rule over 85% of the country who have 59 senate seats. The Senate is a corporate agent as is SCOTUS since W v Gore.

Not very feasible back then, but in the age of the internet (and Zoom meetings, etc.) very doable now.

One page Max, double spaced for each bill, no riders

Although this would be more a matter of Congressional procedure than a subject for a Constitutional amendment, how about a principle that a congresscritters vote shall not be counted as being in favor of a bill unless the person has transcribed it longhand or been filmed typing it or otherwise reproducing it. Someone who knows of something objectionable within a bill should be entitled to reject it without having to read the whole thing, but someone who is going to vote for something should be required to demonstrate that they have read the whole thing and there is nothing objectionable within it.

How does a government give a person a "right" to understand something? Should laws be limited to something like "Be good", so that people with low comprehension levels can understand? Law is written in such intricate detail so that it is not left to just anyone's interpretation of what the law is. This is why it's interpreted by judges educated on the law and not farmers and even with that, these judges opinions and bias interpret laws different ways. It is the way it is because the simpler the law doesn't work, because of everyone's changing opinions. We humans are still a very faulted species.

Term limits for SCOTUS IS A BAD IDEA

@Heywood why is that?

@@daedalus2726 because the scotus judges are supposed to be outside the political whims of the times. If they had terms, they would act like politicians and be beholden to those politicians. They aren’t supposed to adjudicate according to popular opinion. And it has worked well for the most part even tho sometimes they don’t seem to. The SCOTUS is by far the most steady branch of the IS government precisely because they aren’t limited by elections or terms. Remember, it was democrats that removed the old barrier of needing a 60 vote senate majority to approve the presidents selection. It was very short sighted and it bit them in the ass. Asking to change the constitution when you don’t know how it works as a whole is equally bad idea.

You are wise beyond your years. I don't think I began to be a "good voter" until I was 30. I was following the party that I thought was right, but that really was based on believing them telling me the other party was wrong. It took a while to understand the difference. I'd go with no voting till 21, but also no income taxes till 21. Young people likely don't have incomes that contribute much in taxes, yet those extra dollars would mean a lot to them.

@@spacevan1204 First, yes, I think the electoral college is quite a ways from its original intent... and yet it still seems to serve that purpose to SOME extent. It also still has a GENERAL (not precise) reflection of the will of the voters, albeit indirectly, instead of directly. As for Texas, yes, I expect you're right that there will come a time when Texas goes blue, and then basically Texas, California, and New York will darned near decide the Presidential election AND control of the House, almost by themselves... which would happen anyway, if the President is DIRECTLY elected by popular vote.

@@nyetzdyec3391 I feel like arguments like this often treat people in their respective states that they're some homogenous block who always act the same and have the same thoughts. Do you know how diverse Texas is? Western Texas has more in common with New Mexcio than Eastern Texas which has more in common with Louisiana. Plus, if Texas turns blue in the EC, than Democrates are always destined to win so your argument kinda falls flat. Without the EC, Republicans in larger states would be represented as well. And Trump basically proved, that Republicans can be mobilized to vote in very large numbers.

@@lol-xs9wz Yes, I know how diverse Texas is... and how different E. Tx. is from W. Tx. In fact, it hasn't been long since I argued exactly that point in another thread, elsewhere. (I'm not sure what brings it up HERE, since I can't read all of the other comments in this thread... can't refresh my memory of everything that's already been discussed here...) I'm also aware that while Texas remains red, currently, it's moving towards purple. At the same time, like when it comes to the Electoral College, and passing laws in State Legislatures, and getting amendments to the Constitution passed, the ONLY thing that matters are the individual MAJORITIES. For example, if the vote is 51-49 in presidential elections, in almost all states, the ENTIRETY of the state's votes goes to the one candidate. When it comes to ratifying an amendment, of the vote in the state legislature is 50.1 to 49.9, it might as well have been 100 to 0... that state has ratified it, and that's all that matters... in PRACTICAL terms (and legal ones, too).

I agree. I would like to keep its purpose of giving slightly more say to smaller states, but remove winner takes all. This way we’re not competing for swing states where 10,000 vote change = 10+ electoral votes, and the original purposes stay.

Yes, we need to abolish the winner take all system. This needs to be talked about more.

Still suffers from the issue of gerrymandering being a thing but definitely agree that this is a far better way of handling it than states being winner takes all.

Aesterlan except it doesnt do that at all, plus people just magically forget the house and senate exist. just because idaho and montana dont get to decide the president doesnt mean they arent represented

There is no need to push it through a Constitutional amendment. Let the states decide how exactly they want to vote. If Partisan states want the winner to have it all and swing states want to split it than so be it. Would actually help both parties get elected more equally.

Most entities/groups are formed for, in at least some way, a business/economic purpose, most political issues are in some way about economics, with it you would be banning or highly restricting, highly giving to the government control over most political speech period.

@@wiekeboiten6742 The United States of America is a federation of states, not individuals. The Founders envisioned making states equal across the board. If you allow California, New York, Texas and Florida to dominate all national elections, what's the point? Preserve the UNION of states and keep power, in my opinion, where it belongs, i.e. with the individuals states.

@@cakrit99 Here's a big problem with the system behind the electoral college. Under this system, If you are a Republican living in California, A Democrat living in Wyoming, An independent, Etc. Your vote may as well be thrown out, Because it doesn't mean anything. In practice, All the electoral college does is change which states rule over the election, And make it possible for someone to win without the popular vote. The system is flawed. And while other systems aren't perfect, It can be better.

The whole reason we don't have term limits for S.C justices is to prevent corruption. If a president appoints a Justice the justice doesn't have to abide by the presidents ideals only the ideals of the rights of the people. If we had term limits the Justice would pass more party line decisions that could undermine the rights of the people for political gain.

If you're interested in changes that would make third parties viable voting options, I'd highly recommend this video series on voting systems: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s7tWHJfhiyo.html

I think we need more third parties too, and that might itself combat the partisanship. Right now a Democrat can run all the way to the left, or a Republican all the way to the right and say, "Well what are you gonna do, vote for the other guy?" A centrist party would keep the other two reasonably honest.

Third parties are naturally supported by changing the voting system to approval voting or ranked choice or score voting or better.

@@n484l3iehugtil Agreed. But that has nothing to do with the Electoral College, it's not an either-or. Frankly I don't even know why Beat brought up the "too many choices" argument. It's a red herring I think, no one has ever made that argument. We can have an electoral college and have ranked choice voting in the individual states.

Having the ranking system would greatly help third parties; basically if your number 1 doesn’t win then your vote would go to your 2 and so on so there wouldn’t be anymore “throwing away your vote”

The wording isn't quite perfect, but the premise is spot on. We absolutely need to protect the right to vote. Unfortunately, we have a political party in this country which depends on depriving millions of their right to vote in order to retain relevance, since their party platform is extremely unpopular with the American people. If you find the above hugely offensive and you feel an overpowering urge to call me an idiot and an anti-American Communist, &c., I think I know what color of hat you wear.

The Unitary POTUS executive power should be abolished by a constitutional amendment! A constitutional amendment should be proposed to vest the executive power in the executive council headed by the POTUS instead of vesting enormous executive power in the POTUS alone!

@@arcadiaberger9204 “extremely unpopular” they have half the countries national votes??

I don’t think you’re a communist I just think you’re massively ignorant. The Republican Party is still relevant and popular, just maybe not in your circles where you live. Similarly, voter I.D laws (which I’m assuming you’re talking about) don’t suppress votes from US citizens, it helps prevent non-citizens from voting

@@arcadiaberger9204 the thing is, we don't need Congress to pass amendments. You can also get a majority of states to vote in favor of a constitutional convention

@@iammrbeat what happened to you throwing your hat in thw ring for governor? I could have swore about a year ago you mentioned it.

I respectfully and vehemently disagree. Even now, 18-year-olds are limited in their full rights (i.e. not being able to buy alcohol or nicotine products in some states and not being able to own a handgun). It is, and should be, very easy to separate the right to vote from other rights. Mr. Beat already pointed out how they must pay income taxes and property taxes if they own a car. That alone should be good enough to allow them to vote. Taxation without representation was a major grievance of the founding fathers and now the same is being done to teenagers. Also, all of these ages are arbitrary, and in reality, there is not much difference between a 16-year-old and an 18-year-old in the grand scheme of things. I find it a little odd you decided to mention the age of consent and legal marrying age, but those are state issues, and there are states where 16 is the legal age of consent and child marriage, with parent consent, is, unfortunately, legal in some states.

@@malachiwalker5792 I think you bring up a lot of good points, including that some of this varies by state. I still think 18 is a good set number though because of the points by the original comment and some research on brain development (which in some ways isn't complete until age 25), so perhaps then it should be the case that we keep the voting age at 18, but allow an exception that those below the age of 18 who pay taxes are also allowed to vote?

@@malachiwalker5792 I disagree. A child who is 8 can pay a sales tax to buy a chocolate bar. That doesn't make them of sound mind to vote in an election. 18 as a voting age isn't inherently arbitrary. You could make the same argument that 15, 14, 13, and even 12 year old's could do the same thing.

@@rt_huxley9205 16 wouldn't be that arbitrary, 16 is usually the are that people finish high school so they should have a decent idea of how things work, so I think making it 16 if you have finished high school otherwise 18 would be a good compromise.

@@Arjay404 The only reason why Mr Beat wants to lower the voting age to 16 isn't because he believes that 16 year old's are smart. It's because they vote majority Democratic and Progressive. He's a Charlton mate. Even the most nicest, on the surface looking neutral of people, have an agenda. Mr. Beat is no different. You have assumed that 16 year old's would have a decent idea of civics without evidence. Most people who are young voted for Joe Biden and now they have a near 39 from a high of 59 percent approval rating of him and it hasn't even been 2 years. If anything, it demonstrates the sheer ignorance of 18 year old's. Just imagine what happens to 16 year olds voting. I would neve put the future of laws & order in the hands of such ignorant fools.

A tie was very likely in the 2020 election. If Donald Trump performed 1% better, there would have been a tie.

@@emperorpalpatine2531 That’s a bit oversimplifying it. Donald Trump would have to win Pennsylvania, Georgia, plus specifically Nebraska’s 2nd district, which Joe Biden won by almost 7 points, so not really all that close. Trump was much closer to outright beating Biden than he was to tying Joe Biden. An outright tie would have been tremendously hard to do. I mean, I guess Trump could have tied it by winning Nevada, Arizona, and Pennsylvania, but for those to all go for Trump but Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin all still go to Joe Biden seems very unlikely. If those first three went to Trump, again, it’s likely he would have won the rest as well, and thus would outright win the election with 311 electoral votes. A tie seems very unlikely there. And 1% wouldn’t have meant a tie, it could have still meant a Biden win or a Trump win. Your statement is so flawed and simplifies stuff so heavily. The statistics show there was about a 1-2% chance of an electoral tie. Usually anything below 5% isn’t statistically significant.

Minors not needing to pay taxes could be abused by parents for business reasons…

I agree whole heartedly with your second statement. They should be subjected to the same regulations as other non-profits... which should also be tightened. As for your first one, that's far more complex than you can imagine and it would actually serve to just make the wealthier, more wealthy. I've been paying taxes since I was 12. I didn't have a job until 18. I however did have investments in my name made at my birth by more financially stable family. When I was 12 is when those investments began seeing returns high enough to pay taxes. Also keep in mind that those under a certain income status see all their taxes returned to them except for those that pay for healthcare & social security... which is an investment in your own future anyway. I received every penny I paid in at the federal level back until I was 29? The state level will ding you though. I never saw a penny back for state taxes, regardless of my age or income status.

Most states have laws against them, and many are intending to pass more. There are also many states with laws that help make the Electoral College into a popular vote block, part of the faithless elector laws. It’ll take over an election and probably be brought to court by those who like the EC, but the NaPoVoInterCo (National Popular Vote Interstate Compact) isn’t likely to be overturned as it doesn’t violate any federal election laws, at least that I’m aware of. tl;dr: Faithless electors are going away via state laws and in their place is a national popular vote instead.
