Figured I get more responses here instead of Study Hall, I know ill get more BS responses but I’m bored in the library and could use a laugh anyway.

So I need to prepare an answer to this question and need some inspiration:
Basically propose an amendment to the constitution that you feel in necessary. It Can deal with any aspect of government or politics.
Thanks all

You need to think about this carefully. There is a huge difference between an amendment and something that could just as easily be a federal law.

How about "To be able to vote one must serve their country for 1 year in either military forces or governmental agency."

This could be done by weekends training and serving or holding a non political govenment job that betters the community. Also providing a service that betters the nation as a whole could be accepted.

That's very broad but I believe Italy actually requires all men to serve for 1 year in the military. I don't know for sure though.

there are a number of countries that has manditory military service for all men. Korea and Sweeden come to mind, I'm fairly sure they do.

Didn't we get in a war over taxation without representation a few years back? You can't place restrictions on voting based on military service.

If you get rid of the electorial college, you might as well get rid of state governments and throw the whole federalist system out the window. The system exists for a reason.
