Three mistakes that have led to our country being in the state it is
1. The Supreme Court Plan
The nation's founders believed that extremist judges on the left and right would be weeded out through the lower court system. This sounds grand on its face, but this would not be applicable to the first Supreme Court.
2. Granting rights of real citizens to corporations without the accompanying responsibilities
The Founders fully understood that business entities should not have these rights because they would abuse them. The result is the corruption of state and federal legislatures.
3. The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution
Our system of government insures that monarchies and dictatorships do not occur because the president must be re-elected. When Congress decided that Presidents could not serve more than two terms, many problems were created. Presidents should be able to serve as long the electorate is happy with their performance. Today the president leaves their mark most notably on the Supreme Court. A president that did not have to be so concerned about doing what they could in eight years would be far less likely to use the Supreme Court as a legacy builder. It is Congress that needs to be refreshed every 2 or 6 years not the presidency.
