Скачать или смотреть Rigged Elections, We Lost Our Democracy.

1. Unsecure Ballots
2. Suppressed voting
3. Rigging the electoral college
We cannot elect our way out of our problems now. There is still hope for we the people to gather, revive our Constitution, and define our nation once again. An Article V Convention was created by or forefathers for this purpose but we have never used it. We should also use state constitutional conventions to make corrections and enhance our democracy.

The ultimate source of sovereignty in this ancient republic, as in modern republics, was the demos (people). The people of Rome gathered into legislative assemblies to pass laws and to elect executive magistrates. Election to a magisterial office resulted in automatic membership in the Senate (for life, unless impeached). The Senate managed the day-to-day affairs in Rome, while senators presided over the courts. Executive magistrates enforced the law, and presided over the Senate and the legislative assemblies. A complex set of checks and balances developed between these three branches, so as to minimize the risk of tyranny and corruption, and to maximize the likelihood of good government. However, the separation of powers between these three branches of government was not absolute; and moreover, several constitutional devices that were out of harmony with the Roman constitution were used frequently. A constitutional crisis began in 133 BC, as a result of the struggles between the aristocracy and the common people. This crisis ultimately led to the collapse of the Roman Republic and its eventual subversion into a much more autocratic form of government, the Roman Empire.
~ Abbott, Frank Frost (1901). A History and Description of Roman Political Institutions

"The United States asserts that Article V is clear in statement and in meaning, contains no ambiguity and calls for no resort to rules of construction. A mere reading demonstrates that this is true. It provides two methods for proposing amendments. Congress may propose them by a vote of two-thirds of both houses, or, on the application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the States, must call a convention to propose them."
United States v. Sprague, SCOTUS

"We Need an Intellectual Awakening ...
We had a taste of it in our early history. We need not give up on the notion of advancing this cause." ~ Ron Paul

"The Constitution that is submitted, is not free from inperfections; but there are as few radical defects in it as could well be expected, considering the heterogenious mass of which the Convention was composed--and the diversity of interests which were to be reconciled. A Constitutional door being opened, for future alterations and amendments."
~ George Washington
