To fix the Electoral College and Senate, this legal scholar says the Constitution needs a rewrite...

In 1790 the US consisted of 13 states with a combined population of less than 4 million citizens.
Today we have a population over 335 million, 50 states and 14 territories.
We have technologies far beyond what any of our founders could have possibly imagined.

Yes, it is time to bring our Constitution into the 21st Century.

We are NOT a Democracy.

The belief that anyone 200+ years ago could have had any idea of how the world would work now is pretty silly. Thomas Jefferson wrote to James Madison on the idea of not allowing the dead to govern the living. Some will reference his "19 years" remark in relation to that. I've always felt that the folks who can look at a 1900+ year old text and believe that every word should govern their lives find it much easier to accept the 200+ year old text, as well. They tend to project the realities of the modern world into both texts and perform varying difficulties of mental gymnastics when things don't line up as they want. Others are frustrated by the archaic language, customs, and beliefs that are enshrined in those texts.

Personally, I would like to see it rewritten for modern times but keeping most of the meaning and spirit in place. Portions like the third amendment are laser focused to the times they were written but have little or no bearing these days. I also believe the electoral college and, more broadly, believing that people have more allegiance to their state than the nation are beliefs that are out of touch with time. If my state ever rose up (again) against the nation, I'd be out of here in a heartbeat. If I could, I'd certain help my country to put my state of birth in it's place.

On the other side of the coin, imagine trying to clarify things like the second amendment. There would definitely be some points of contention even if a majority of the document could easily be rewritten in modern terms and ideals.
