I asked about the relationship of congress to the other branches and the states.

I think their design divided power sufficiently to prevent tyranny. Do you?

Answering the question presupposes that I can do better. The fact that your asking it means they could have done better.

I can’t do better and they made the best deal they could at the time and given the climate of today, I would have liked to have seen better. Our government and our system is a lot different then what it was at incept so my answer is in regards to what we have today, not what we had.

Perhaps stronger roles for the Speaker of the House and to the Supreme Court Justice. Congress should have some enforcement powers over its enumerate powers and oversight roles that only apply to elected officials and political appointees.

Collective bargaining didn’t exist or wasn’t mature at the time, but it seems that something of the sort should have been thought of and that government employees both federal and state should be forbidden to Unionize and collectively bargain.
