The article discusses criticisms of the U.S. Constitution. The author discusses the writing of the U.S. Constitution and notes that it was not ratified by a popular vote, leading to criticism and objections to some of its measures. The drafting and ratification of amendments by state legislatures rather than popular vote, the rigid terms of office for government officials as specified in the Constitution and the lack of accountability of the U.S. president to the public due to the use of the electoral college system in elections are also noted. The author suggests that the Constitution lacks democratic principles and that political leadership should be vested in Congress rather than the president. He proposes that the public be allowed to elect the presidential cabinet.
