Is changing the Constitution the only way to fix Washington?

No. Enforcing what we have is the best way.

[Jacquerie]

I am regularly taken aback by those who think our freedoms should depend on the character of those we elect to political office.

If such men exist, then a simple assembly of these angels would do for a government. Grant a few hundred virtuous intellectuals the legislative, executive, and judicial power, right? Why not? In fact, if such men exist, why not empower just one man with the three broad functions?

To rely on the virtue alone of our rulers, Article V opponents guarantee a nation not of law, but of men and tyranny like the one we endure today.
