We don't need 3 branches of government. All you need is a legislative branch. You don't need a government that can coin or print money or one that can regulate interstate commerce. You don't need the national government to set naturalization requirements or patents.
You don't need a standing army during peace time, you don't need a bill of rights (other than the 10th Amendment). You don't need compulsory taxation, as the military and congress are civil servants, and people can pay them voluntarily since not everyone will consent to what they're doing.
Not only do you not need any of those things, they're actually detrimental to the market and the general welfare of society. I hereby propose a 3rd Supreme Law of the U.S.A. (making D.C. the 51st State):
Each State legislature shall elect a member to represent the State. The body of those U.S. Representatives shall be called the Congress.
Congress shall convene, in an agreed upon place, for a total of at least 24 hours a week.
Congress shall have the power, by majority vote, to:
Declare War, Raise a military, set rules relating to war and military, appoint a commander-in-chief during declared war time (the Military shall not occupy civilian property without consent of the owner and the Military shall not invade foreign nations)
End a War.
Secure diplomacy with foreign nations and appoint ambassadors; however Congress shall make no treaty or join into any binding international agreement.
Borrow (but not loan) gold and/or silver on the credit of the United States (Congress shall not charter any bank(s)
Guarantee each State a republican form of government and protect them from foreign invasion and domestic violence.
Approve the divergence of one state into a number of States that will leave an odd number of States.
Provide for the return of fugitives from justice to the State(s) in which the crime was committed.
Elect an officer who shall Preside over Congress.
All powers not delegated to Congress, are reserved to the States.
No state or the Federal government shall allow involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime.
No state or the Federal government shall have a standing army during peacetime.
No State shall enter into any agreement, treaty, alliance, or confederation.
States may contribute gold, silver, platinum, or property to the Federal government during wartime (to be used only for military expenses) or to pay off the Federal Government’s debts.
No state legislature shall allow popular election of U.S. Representatives.
Is there anything wrong with it? If so, what? Do you think the government is too small under it?
