Provisions to help limit the federal government per Michael Huemer: 1. Supermajority rules: New laws should necessitate a 2/3 majority vote for passage. A presumption against coercion needs to be overcome. Slightly over 50% on contentious issues doesn't overcome this presumption. 2. Negative legislature: Introduce a separate legislative body, elected by popular vote, that only has the power to find and eliminate unnecessary and legislation. 3. Constitutional court: Establish a dedicated court to enforce the Constitution, accompanied by a special prosecutor's office for pursuing potentially unconstitutional government actions. These cases should be decided by juries of ordinary citizens to avoid pro-government bias. 4. Accountability for constitutional violations: The Constitutional Court should have the power to impose penalties on government officials who violate the Constitution, including fines, removal from office, and even imprisonment.
