Answer 3

I would restore our Republic by passing an amendment repealing the 17th Amendment! The United States is [or rather was] a "Representative Democracy within a Constitutional Republic". The bankrupt theory that our Constitution is a 'living document' is being used to promote Democracy. Before the 17th Amendment was passed, Senators were appointed by the Legislatures of the States rather than elected by the people. Because they were political appointees they could be 'Elder Statesmen [women]' and could be objective in the consideration of Bills. In theory, no lobbyists or PACs could bribe them and if they tried they could be dealt with as the criminals they are! Now, since the passage of the 17th Amendment, Senators are beholding to the fickle whims of the people whose vote they must get to be re-elected: a necessarily degenerate Democracy! The lobbyists and PACs offer buckets of money to help them get that vote! Democracy is always degenerate because people vote to support their own motivated self interest or what the demagogue, lobbyist or PAC of the minute has convinced them is their motivated self interest and so is reduced to its lowest common denominator! Democracy is a necessarily degenerate form of government that inevitably reduces itself to 'Mob Rule'. Our country was designed and intended as a Republic back in 1787 and it is the residue of that Republic that has allowed us to last this long....

Answer 4

It would say "We were SERIOUS about the 10th Amendment."
