Are you asking me who would write the new constitution or who should write it? If the country got to a point where a new constitution was a possibility, it would not likely contain anything nefarious in it. Those same oligarchs and politicians can't even get laws like SOPA and PIPA through congress because of public criticism. Any corrupt legislation that got proposed would be noticed immediately, would be an instant scandal, and there would be rioting in the streets. There is a common sentiment that the U.S. system is so corrupt that legislators can pass whatever draconian legislation they want. They can't. The system is made up of thousands of people, all being pressured by competing interests. There is no one business interest that rules the legislature. |
Even if a new Constitution was written, what's going to stop the same corrupt government from just passing laws that still infringe on basic liberty? It's up to the people to excite change, nothing will change if all we do is keep sending corrupt individuals to Congress and the White House and other bodies across the globe.
