Rule 1: No billionaires. Upon being assessed at having a net worth of 1 billion dollars, regardless of where your wealth is or how it's invested, the entirety of its ownership will be transferred to a public trust, and all liquid assets will be equally distributed to the poorest 1%. This rule is to never be ever re-defined due to inflation.

Competency tests before you can appear on a ballot, with a commission that reviews the requirements to prevent the exclusion of minorities.

All financial information must be disclosed by anyone with power over others.

Somehow replace shares with cooperatives and employee ownership.

No elected judges, with stringent training and yearly bias testing. Like a postdoc in judicial impartiality.

Same with sheriffs. No elected police. Police should be a career, like a civil engineer. To be promoted, people must pass ever more strict ethics courses.

Any person who is a position of trust and power who then acts contrary to the ethics of their role can never be elected. Or have power over anyone again.

Children must be free of religion until they are 25.

Children must not be mutilated by their parents religion.

National healthcare.

USA focused: each state gets one senator, plus one per 2 million residents.

Marriage as a union of two or more consenting adults

Make it illegal for politics to be based around religion or ethnicity. Also, I’d make capitalism illegal just like nazism.

Open carry of guns... no

Open carry of booze... yes

Let's party!

Using "think of the children" type arguments in political debate should be punishable by loss of passive voting rights (the right to be elected) for life. And the same for "If you have nothing to hide" type arguments.

Everybody gets to vote within 35 minutes or less, maybe I should rephrase that too on average in a voting area that people vote in 35 minutes or less. Make it unconstitutional stand in line for eight hours to vote just as an example.

All voting areas are drawn and simple squares are rectangles and it is done via a mathematical algorithm.

Abortion is a constitutional right, no limits, it is always between the person who is pregnant and their doctor.

In the United States we called the fairness doctrine, I would put that into the constitution.

A gross income tax if you are above a certain income you get taxed before you get to do any deductions or write off or anything. That same gross income tax would apply to trust funds it would also apply to businesses.

Dark money in terms of politics would be bound by the constitution. Businesses would not be allowed to run ads or donate money. Money going to campaigns has to come from an individual and the maximum be US$5000 per year.

1. They whom smeltith, Dealtith.

FPTP voting is banned everywhere.

Full financial transparency for all elected officials. If Matt Gaetz buys a dildo, everyone knows about it. Serving in Congress is a service, not something you should want to do for life.

Wyoming Rule.

Gerrymandering is treason. Straight to gitmo.

Bribery is treason. Straight to gitmo. In cases of corporate bribery, the board is held responsible.

Money is not speech.

Corporations are not people.

Not quite sure how to codify it in law, but something to force anti-trust action (since existing laws just aren't enforced). Maybe every year, the top 5 companies by market cap are forcibly broken up into at least 3 entities?

Retail employees may legally put hands on the customer

Words are cheap. I would suggest that citizens sing a song together at noon, to celebrate their joined opportunities.

How to do voting even is a big question. The really representative systems tend to end up with razor thin coalitions full of smallish parties that play brinkmanship. There's got to be a way to discourage that, but I don't know what it is yet.

More controversially, it should probably address economic inequality in some way.

If the old government is gone why would i want to replace it with another one?

I'd put 1 and 2 right back in. It ain't broke
