He's on to something here. He's completely right. -- Hey, I've got an idea kids, how's about we start another legislative body that represents the people with the number of representatives allocated according to the population of the st-----wha???
Tttthhere is? Oh ------ nevermind.
Don't be ridiculous. Who ever heard of a legislative branch with two houses in it? Are you some kind of commie?
Seriously, this is a truly painful thing to read out of pen of a PhD candidate in history. It is simply astonishing to hear a bleat for "wise legislation" that might alter the Constitution - evidently the poor guy hasn't heard of that "Amendment" thingy. Or how the bicameral legislature came about, or why.
It's bad enough that any young person sees fit to quote secondary sources instead of reading the Constitution for himself or herself, a process that takes under an hour even if he's moving his lips; but this is a prospective historian. In his field this level of laziness is a guarantee of failure.
