I think one way to improve the functioning of our democratic society may be to increase the number of U.S. Representatives. Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution says, "The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand".
If we use this as a benchmark for the number of Reps we could have; take 300 million (citizens) and divide by 30,000. We could constitutionally have a U.S. House composed of 10,000 Representatives.
Imagine that many congressional districts in the U.S.! There would be Green districts, hippy districts, gay districts, Nascar districts, science districts, business districts, etc.
True democracy could finally be regained.
