  1.  @murraybeachtel8585  Not allowing under 18s to drink (21s in america) or vote is also ageist. Its allowed though.

  2. 15:31 The issue with party based is that it cements their stranglehold on the US. Most people are not republican or democrat, they are independent. Further, why just the 2 entrenched parties? What about the libertarians, greens, Christian democrats, the social democrats, etc? They would get more votes in congress if they had media coverage. They'd get more media coverage if they had more votes--catch 22.

  4. I would love if he could do swedish🇸🇪 and korean🇰🇷 constitutional cases for comparison. 💡💼👍

  5. How about each age group represented? We can have a child justice representing 0-8 year olds, a tween justice for 9-12s, a teen justice for 13-17s, and young adult justice for 18-45s, middle aged justice for 46-60s, and elder justice for 61-death...

  6. I like the IG system that I read in a book (Psyber War). The inspector-general (IG) is the chief justice and figurehead head of state, but he has teams of justices for various constitutional issues (eg speech, religion, federalism)--essemtially meaning the supreme court has 90ish justices, but don't all meet together. Each team (5 members) reviews the case and submits their recommendation to the IG (eg unconstitutional and why, constitutional). The IG usually signs off on it. For fellow commonwealth members, this is like a governor-general that proactively conducts judicial review (rather than reactive judicial review that requires someone to file case), but has absolutely no executive power.

  7. Caveat- Even most of the republicans at the time were likely racist, just like Lincoln. Product of their time. “I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and Black races... I oppose Black people having the right to vote, to serve on juries, to hold office and to intermarry with whites." (Abraham Lincoln) https://www.history.com/news/5-things-you-may-not-know-about-lincoln-slavery-and-emancipation

  8. How about selecting supreme court justices the way we do juries. Voire dire by the solicitor General and a federal defence attorney(?) can weed out those with perceived bias. The selection can be amongst certified constitutional law experts; or for the entire population, with legal assistance from the Chief law clerk and law staff.

  9. 6:26 The Supreme Peoples Court (not the remake of a classic TV show) of China has 340 justices. Guess they're the most democratic and just country 😋

  10. 9:36 😑😑😑😑 Life expectancy is the average after taking into account infant mortality as well. People lived longer than that figure, its just all the childbirth deaths brought the average down. Kinda like when you get your report card--you have 75%, 75%, 75%, 60%, 60%, 55%, and two 0%. Your average with the 2 os is 50%. Without the 0s, the average is 67%

  11. 4:25 All this talk about circuits...and electricity wasn't even that widespread yet 😋

  12. I also like the idea of having all politicians under oath during their time serving (perjury and expulsion from their office should be good). This would keep them honest.

  13. Every time elections and the house sits is unconstitutional. "The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand..." (article 1, section 2, clause 3). Simple laws of apportionment cannot supersede the constitution, and there has never been an amendment to fix the number of seats.. America should have more congressmen (and women) than the National Peoples Congress in China--with a population of over 350 million, the US should have over 11,000 members of the house of Representatives.
