Call for the reform of an outdated Legislative branch to include the general populace in this age of communication

Created by N.K. on April 26, 2014

The system of Legislative process first put forward in the Constitution has become outdated.

In the early days of the United States, travel was a long an tedious process, and so representatives were elected so everybody wouldn't need to travel to the capitals, slowing the process.

In this day of high-speed travel and instaneous communication, this system is no longer necessary.

It should be a general democracy. All citizens now, if given, the ability to vote and propose laws, cutting out the oftentimes corrupt middle man.
Maybe as a House of Commons-like part instead of /or in addition to Congress.

Maybe as a website, like this one.

This would make America a country "of the people"
