The constitution is not being followed now. COS would put the entire constitution up for rewrite when the rules are not being followed. That is the last thing we want to do.

Enforce the constitution we have now. If you can't do that, you hare already lost.

That's a good point, but I keep thinking that if we didn't have an Executive and Judicial Branch (eliminating a big part of the central government like the Articles of the Confederation) it might be more manageble for We the People to keep our eyes on the state level better. IDK.

I think you need all branches of government. The three in the constitution are designed to keep each other in check. The media is considered the fourth branch that informs the people of all the violations that occur. The media is now owned by the deep state that controls the other branches of government. The corruption is the problem. The size is a problem. The unconstitutional power grab is a problem. They all need to be reined in not rewritten. The states were supposed to have all the power (10 amendment) but they gave it up over the years. The 16th Amendment put senators up for election by the people instead of being appointed by the states. All of these are difficult to reclaim but things are so blatantly wrong now, it is easy to prove. Once one person is tried for corruption, the rest will fall. Right now there is a RICO type investigation into Fauci and others that conspired with him. If that comes to fruition, it will cause some huge revelations.

Actually that was the 17th Amendment. The 16th Amendment created the income tax, thus growing the central government to grow too big! 1913 was a very bad year along with the Federal Reserve Act.

Yes. All enabled by the sinking of the Titanic by the people who benefited by the Amendments.

Yes the checks and balances were intended to keep the central government in check with Federalism prevailing. How did that work out? My point is that I believe it's the central government that is the problem. And, when I look at the Articles of the Confederation, with only a Congress from state delegates, that maybe that would be better. No federal election for president, no life long appointment for the supreme court - can you imagine? I know we have national issues but maybe it could be more like Switzerland. IDK, but what we have now is an unsustainable mess.

You can't have law makers without courts to rule on them.

The problem as you mentioned is about who has the power and for how long. If the states controlled the senators and funding of the government (before IRS) then the power remains with the states. If congress followed the one representative per 10,000 citizens, then we would have more control but they said there weren't enough seats so that is a 'no can do' and suddenly they gained more power.

The people have been asleep too long and let this get out of hand.

Yes, we need courts but maybe the courts could be a state tribunal type system?

Yes. That would be good if the states were the final say.

Again, this is not something that we can change now with COS.
