The taxation system would be transparent, flat, and constitutionally constrained, eliminating the state’s ability to expand its power through economic coercion.
Most importantly, constitutional interpretation would not be ceded to an unelected class of legal scholars who twist the meaning of words to suit their ideological aims. The document would be written in explicit, unambiguous terms, invulnerable to creative reinterpretation. A government should not exist to rule but to secure rights, and it should be structured in a way that renders its expansion impossible. The tragedy of early American constitutionalism was not that it failed to anticipate threats—it was that it assumed future generations would remain vigilant in preserving its original intent. Any constitution that does not account for the inevitability of government seeking more power is already a failed document. The only framework worth implementing is one that acknowledges this tendency and neutralizes it before it begins.
