[Serious] The revolution was successful! The old government is gone. You get to help write the new Constitution. What do you put into it? (sopuli.xyz)

I actually started writing up a a new constitution a while ago as a sort of thought experiment. It's not finished yet but some of the highlights thus far include:

A unicameral congress, with uncapped membership
A right to privacy, free education, internet, and government transparency
Freedom from religion clauses
Constitutionally limited intellectual property: Copyright is 15 years for corporations, life for individuals.
Uncapped supreme court, 2 appointments per presidential term
Score voting for the president
Proportional representation for congress
No term limits
