    A rewritten Constitution. For example, the 4th Amendment should treat our devices and bodies as “papers and effects”, so that unwarranted searches aren’t constitutional. Ditto for LGBTQ+ and minorities being treated as people from the outset, and more.

    In any case, to broadly speak to your points: An replaced Constitution should have a section dedicated to economic fairness and mechanics to uphold a more egalitarian society. For example, workers having the right to vote for leadership positions and pay packages, UBI, universal healthcare, education as a paid job for students, and so on.

    The Magna Carta, American Constitution, and French democracy were born of suffering and strife. We are now in a age where that happens again.

      That’s all good stuff, 100%, but if the existing constitution had been upheld, Trump would be in prison instead of the White House.
