ARTICLE XV: Income Tax Laws
Income tax laws should be simplified in ways that do not allow clever people to cheat the government. Individuals who earn the highest wages will not have wages that are more than 10 times the wages of the lowest-paid worker in a graduated income tax system. The Federal Legislators will determine how private corporations and possibly religious organizations are to be taxed.
ARTICLE XVI: Bottom-up Reorganization of the 50 State Governments: A Recommendation State governments will be encouraged to rewrite their state constitutions so that they are organized from the bottom-up, not the top-down: from the elementary school district (which would also be a voting precinct district) to the township level, up to the county level, up to the state level. Each level of legislative government can make, not just legislative decisions but also make executive and judicial branch appointments for that level. Elected legislators at each level may vote among themselves to send a legislator to the next level above it. This method is better than the previous system in which state and local citizens often voted a straight ticket for many officers from two parties for candidates whom they knew nothing about. States are also encouraged to consider direct democracy at precinct, township, city, and county levels of government. Here is an expanded explanation of how state governments can be reorganized.
ARTICLE XVII: How this Third Constitution Can Be Amended and How It Can Be Abolished When a Fourth Constitution Is Desired.
The United States government can be changed when the Federal Legislature passes new laws with a 51% majority. But the United States Government can also be changed by adding Amendments to the Third Constitution. Butto change the federal government completely and abolish this Third Constitution, there has to be a Constitutional Convention to rewrite a new constitution.
How to Add Amendments to the Third Constitution
To change the federal government by adding amendments to the Third Constitution, the United States Congress must pass any proposed amendment to the Third Constitution with a 60% majority. Then the American people must approve any new amendment with a 51 percent majority in a national referendum. The ratification of federal amendments by 3/4 of the state legislatures is no longer required.
How to Abolish the Current Third Constitution
The Constitution is the supreme civil law of the land. A radically new constitution and government can be created by having a Constitutional Convention. If done properly in the way prescribed here, it will be achieved in a fair, orderly, and democratic way. The American people have a right to choose whether they want a new Constitution on a regular basis. Through their chosen representatives, an entirely new constitution can be written and adopted. Here is the procedure for having a Constitutional Convention to create a new constitution.
The American people will vote to determine if they want a Constitutional Convention to create a new constitution two weeks after every presidential election. If approved by a 51-percent majority of the American people, then the following 8-month timeline will be used to make it happen.The 8-Month Timeline for Creating the Fourth Constitution
Two weeks after every presidential election on the third Tuesday of November, the American people with a 51 percent majority can decide if they want a constitutional convention to create the Fourth Constitution.
American voters will have about 7 weeks till January 14 to officially register with a national political party that truly expresses their values and worldview. Various websites describe all the major national political parties that voters can choose from.
Then from January 15 till the end of January, no switching of parties can be made as the official count of all national political parties is determined by the National Elections Committee, which will be appointed by the 7 largest national political parties. Each of the 7 largest national political parties will appoint one person to serve on the Executive Council of the National Elections Committee.
The National Elections Committee will know by the end of January which national political parties received at least one percent of the national vote.
The National Elections Committee will be responsible for counting and verifying the membership of national political parties, and the National Elections Committee will guarantee that local election officials are impartial and professionalized. The National Elections Committee may use voting machines that are standardized, or it may decide on other fair methods of voting that prevent dishonesty and corruption.
Starting in the month of February and going to the end of March (a 2-month period), all the national political parties that represent at least one percent of the nation's voters will get official, equal, free, national public television exposure. These national political parties will be able to make public speaking presentations and will be allowed to participate in televised town hall meetings, on a nationally publicized television station. They will also be allowed to give their written responses to standardized questions, not exceeding the maximum amount of words that the question allows. Each of the political parties will be allowed to share their party platforms, any proposed national constitutions, and various articles from their websites.
