If I were writing constitutional amendments, one of them would require that all legislation be read aloud in each house by its sponsor immediately before being voted upon. That would cut down drastically on the amount of BS legislation passed. Also, voice votes would be forbidden. All votes must be recorded in detail and the votes of each legislator must be made public. No anonymous votes.

For some additional ideas about amendments, see
