well lets see: after 9/11 all arabs would have been kicked out of the counrty; 50% don't pay taxes now how high does it go if they get to decide; how do corporations do business if people can just change the rules and taxes at any time? how do we fight wars if they change their mind every day on what to fund? how do you count 100 million votes every day? How do states operate if the people can force them to do things? how does the world live when 51% tries to tell everyone else how to live? Thats why the house is the peoples and has elections every two years, and that the senate was setup for states rights and only 1/3 is up for election(picked by states before the 17th amendment) every two years. Thats why the president is picked by electoral college every 4 years. Thats why the President gets to pick the new judges and the senate has to okay them, and that they serve for life. Thats why every state is a Republic. Thats why adding/forming a new state to the union is limited by the constitution. Thats why 3/4ths of the states have to ratify an amendment and that no state can lose its votes in the senate at the whim of other states.
