Question

Polling data show that we Americans are pretty much dissatisfied with the effectiveness of all institutions of government at the local, state and federal levels today. Experts suggest that the mass appeal of a Donald Trump or Senator Bernie Sanders has a good deal to do with their desire to make politicians and government more responsive to what voters want government to do.

Your assignment is to identify and discuss three ways in which our nation’s political process could be changed to become more responsive to problems at home and abroad. Provide three brief but well-developed paragraphs, one paragraph for each of the three proposed changes, (1) explaining the problem that needs to be solved and (2) how this might be accomplished (elections, federal statute, constitutional amendment, etc.) An Internet search of The Constitutional Center www.constitutioncenter.org website and other similar webpages listed there may be helpful.
