America Freedom Proposal

How it works

Union. Liberty. Clarity.

A Simpler Democracy

The American Freedom Proposal is a set of changes to the constitution that makes it so laws are voted on by the people, not congress.

We swear to keep lawmaking rare, readable, and rooted in public consent.
Citizen Verdict
Short Laws Only
Power Rotates
The Core Idea

Congress drafts. Citizens decide.

Elected officials do not get the final word on laws. The people do. Every proposal must earn real consent, not just a quick vote inside the capitol.

Laws stay short, readable, and limited in number. The system is built to keep power rotating and the public fully in control of the pace.

  1. 1
    Congress writes and approves a bill with strict length limits.
  2. 2
    A random national panel of 100,000 voters reviews it.
  3. 3
    Two thirds must approve for the proposal to advance.
  4. 4
    A nationwide YES or NO vote decides the outcome.
Limits

Limits that keep it simple.

Length Limits Laws stay short enough for regular people to read.
Bill Limits Each official gets only a few proposals each year.
No Big Bundles No massive bundles. No unrelated riders.
Plain Words Plain words required. No hidden clauses.
Term Limits

Power rotates. No one stays forever.

Eight-year max

All elected officials serve no more than eight years total. No lifetime political class and no permanent incumbency advantage.

  • No lifetime appointments in elected roles.
  • Term clocks follow the person, not the seat.
  • Military expertise stays protected and separate.
  • Open seats stay common.
Why It Works

Consent that counts.

  • Fewer laws, better laws.
  • Public consent is real, not symbolic.
  • Lobbying loses its shortcuts.
  • Government speed matches public understanding.

The public is not asked to vote on everything. The system filters proposals, demands clarity, then calls for a final vote.

What It's Not

No extremes.

  • Not mob rule.
  • Not constant voting on every topic.
  • Not rule by experts.
  • Not a system that hides power.

The goal is a sturdy republic with visible consent. The people are not overwhelmed and are never bypassed.

The Goal

A government that cannot outrun the people.

Laws are rare. The public has time to read, debate, and decide. Power stays shared and civic.

The nation moves at the speed of understanding, not at the speed of insiders.
