1. They should have mandated term limits for all federal positions.
2. They should have banned political parties.
Representatives should be just that - serve as representatives of the people who voted them in, not cogs in a machine who do as they are told, or else.
They couldn't have foreseen the advent of lobbyists, and should / would have banned them, too.
All of this stuff is up to us to correct. Anybody up for a convention of states?
