If you could write any amendments to the US Constitution, what would they be?

non-serious response : but it should be."Ban Libertarianism" is not an option in your poll.
Repeal the 17th, Abolish the income tax and replace it with a flat tax (the fair tax would not work), Limit all bills in Congress to under 100 pages in length.
You want to repeal the seventeenth amendment? What makes you think a bunch of politicians can pick your senator better than you can?
The states would have a vote in Washington again. As it is now (thanks to the 17th amendment), they don't. The founders set up Congress the way they did for a reason.
The states are made up of the people in those states. Therefore, the states do have such a vote.

Repeal Amendment 14
Abolish Govt-run welfare, health care, education, etc.
Mandate a balanced budget every year
I am not to sure this is possible while maintaining necessities.Limit total taxes and spending to under 15%
The meddling apart I can agree with but we should finish what ever little wars we are engaged in. Just stopping a war without finishing it makes it a bigger waste of lives and dollars than seeing it through to the finish. We should ban all foreign aidStop all wars and meddling abroad
Some of those regulations and mandates are pretty good, so no.Abolish all meddlesome regulations and mandates
No.For the simple fact **** happens.Those in office should be banned from opting out of social security,after all if it is good enough for the tax payers the it should be good enough for those in office too.Privatize social security
Make all states independent nations
Other (specify)
From what I have seen from the citizens and law-makers and their level of behavior, I'd say neither.You want to repeal the seventeenth amendment? What makes you think a bunch of politicians can pick your senator better than you can?
An excellent proposal.I just thought of another good one.
Have a set of relatively simple questions made up by political scholars that cover the majority of political issues in the country. Pass an amendment requiring anyone running for public office to answer the questions on the sheet and post the answers to a website accessible to everyone so that it's possible to know what someone stands for before you vote on them.

What's unfortunate is that I'm left with little doubt as to the seriousness of your proposal.
