I Fear
by King Beast III

I learn from the past, adapt to the present, yet fear for the future. The amount of power Congress currently occupies in regarding the elections is overwhelming. The term Division of powers is no where to be seen and therefore I fear in the near future our nation might self-destruct and crawl back under British control.

We ought to limit the amount of power flowing into the Congress. For starters, elect senators for the period of six years. Secondly, Using rotation seats to the third part them are to be vacated and replenished every two years. And Finally, no states is to be entitled to more than two senators.

As Hamilton strongly states, "an exclusive power of regulating elections for the national government, in the hands of the State legislatures, would leave the existence of the Union entirely at their mercy. They could at any moment annihilate it."

We ought to take an action right now for the future. ---

To the People of the State of New York, The constitution in its current incarnation responds too radically to the tyranny of English rule. The current system allows the very democracy that runs this country to be regulated in elections by individual states, as opposed to the federal government. As document 59 of the Federalist Papers points out, every government must be able to contain itself, instead of 13 governments containing each other.

Since elections can influence the entire nation, it makes little sense for each state to separately govern them. The current policy creates difficulty between the states in creating a more perfect and sound union.

To preserve the UNION, this cannot continue. Let us not be extreme conformists in Republican ideology. Let us find ways for states to remain separate entities but let us also unite of the United States of America. Signed, Emilio Estevez
