Message | Article 1 is to keep one party from having complete control over the reprsentatives for at the moment there is no way to remove certain individuals from office and this will hopefully fix that as to Article six this is done for one reason and one reason only to keep parties from focusing only on the slightly larger contingent of voters therefore catering to their electorate and ignoring the rest of the country this is to make it equal footing and to keep the parties focused on the whole of the people instead of catering to a region with a slightly larger electorate. |

Message | How can you improve democracy when you are giving smaller populations as much voting power as the more heavily populated areas? You are basically discarding votes. |
