Should the Governement Evolve with the People?

In a blog written by Ashley, she tries to take a stab at trying to answer the following question: Is it possible for the people of the United States to be equally represented? She begins her blog by stating an important fact. She states, “the nation and the people have changed and it is time the government makes changes to follow and support the people it is governing, not the Architects from its past.” I couldn’t agree more. We can all agree that overtime America has evolved tremendously. Whether this be the diversity of the people, the advanced technology and infrastructure, etc. With the diversity of the people in America, is everyone equally represented? Unfortunately not, and Ashley makes that point quite clear. She brings up the idea of improving the Electoral College. She mentions, “Hear the majority of the public’s opinion and make decisions based off of solely what is best for the good of the majority of the nation, what the majority of the people want and need.” But isn’t that what a trustee is required to do originally? I feel like no matter what we do we can never uncover the real agenda of any politician. We just never really know the real intentions that someone has, we are forced to believe whatever they want us to hear. She then brings up an even greater idea which is the elimination of party systems. Which I think is incredibly intelligent. Why aren’t these trustees doing their jobs or doing what’s best for the people? The writer answers, “People get too caught up in Party Systems they neglect the issues and vote based off of commitment to the Party. Just like Tammy’s outdated idea of sticking by someone who may not really deserve it, the Party participants in this country need to start voting based off what is best for the country and not what the Party’s outdated values or alliances are.” It’s quite simple. Our government is corrupt because the very people that we as citizens are supposed to trust are themselves corrupt. So, will there ever be a solution? This blog was very thoughtfully written and gives clear insight on possible solutions without being biased or emotional. She does a great job at elaborating her point, asking questions, and making very thoughtful comparisons.
