The DODO team recently got together in New York to discuss democracy and review an original draft of the Bill of Rights. (The 1789 version at the NY Public Library includes 12 amendments, including one that would have limited the population in each congressional district to 50,000 people).

The annual Democracy Index has just been published by The Economist and it’s not looking good. Fewer than 8% of the world’s population live in a full democracy, while almost 40% live under authoritarian rule.

Worth noting that the US is no longer considered a full democracy.

American democracy is cracking. These ideas could help repair it.
The problems with the U.S. political system can, at times, feel overwhelming and intractable. But solutions can become reality when ordinary citizens engage.
