But given that the Republicrats have rigged an already rigged system in their favor, I wouldn't count on that happening. Since more honest people tend to go into non-political professions, that usually leaves the dishonest to be politicians. We had a Constitution once and it failed, so I don't see how returning to it would prevent big government from happening again.
I see your point. If we went back to a form government intended by our founders, would the country as a whole be smart enough to keep it that way, or would it eventually end up back in its present state? I would lean towards the latter happening.
