The Constitution did work fine so long as the powers that be respected its original intent. They don’t anymore. The interstate commerce clause has been used to justify Federal micro-management of nearly every aspect of our lives. That was not its original intent.

Nor was it intended that Congress could pass nebulous laws that allowed the executive branch to write regulations that have the force of law. By doing so they have abdicated their proper function to the executive branch. And most of the “laws” that we do have come in the form of Federal Regulations, not statutes passed by the Congress.

We need structural changes that will dispel the loopholes by which the original meaning was perverted, and to provide sanctions with teeth against anyone in any branch of government who attempts to do so in the future.
