Disclaimer: Although some of this article is fact, most of it is my personal opinion. I'm in no way saying that people who like the government and/or the current candidates are bad people. I'm only suggesting ways to improve it. Now, on with the show.

This is part four of my series on how to better the election and sometimes, the government in general. We first said to get rid of the electoral college. Second, we explored a new form of voting dubbed Approval Voting. Third, we looked into a better way to handle local government elections with the Single Transferable Voting system. Today we're going to look at something a bit more...unconventional.

4. Creating the show "Who wants to be President of the U.S.A."

So what does this mean? Well, let me explain. For over two centuries we have dedicated our government to one single document: The Decleration of Independance. Aptly named, it was a statement to other countries saying, "We're going to make our own rules now! Here's what they are!" and for a long time, those rules worked. Since that time, we've added onto these rules, which we call "amendments", literally meaning "a change or addition to a legal or statutory document." Unfortunately, although adding amendments usually don't cause an uproar from society, removing one can sometimes do that.

For instance, in the recent years, there's been talk of removing the second amendment—the one that allows people to own weapons and guns. The reasoning behind it was to protect people from the recent mass shootings. However, many members of society say, "Without that ammendment, we can't protect ourselves". Both sides had a legitimate reason for having it removed or kept. Ultimately, it was kept if you didn't already know.

Getting to the point, there's been a lot of talk recently about the amendments, and how they don't pertain to today's issues because they were made for the 1800s, not the 2000s. Although there are some things I agree with, there is one thing in particular that I think the government is actually missing out on.

One of the biggest reasons political arguments start is because one person is probably misinformed on some point. This is usually due to the lack of information that you can find on the internet. (Have you seen the local governments website? It looks like it was made in the ages of dialup.)

So then, the obvious course of action is to make their information a bit more accessible. I'm not saying that all government and FBI protected articles should be unlocked, just that the information already out there should be a bit more accessible. Now, I'm going to take this idea one step further.

What if the government had a TV show?

Think about it. You wonder what law the big cheese slices are coming up with next, so you snap on the TV and turn to the right channel and watch. Not only this, but they could have special program, like special ones for the election and the debates!

Now I know what you're thinking, "They already broadcast the debates on TV." This is true, but how many people prefer to watch that over the show "America's Got Talent"? Not many.

As I see it, they should create a television series similar to something like AGT. In it, certain people get elected as candidates. Then every week or so, a few of them get eliminated. This process continues until there is one person left and they get to be president!

Not only would this alone make the show more interesting, but just think about the implications and what they could do with something like this. People could use their phones to vote instead of having to drive somewhere or fill out a ridiculously long form that no one teaches you about in high school. (Seriously, how few things about life do schools actually teach us?) People could talk about the event on twitter and chat about which candidate they like the best.

In the end, it boils down to two things: presentation and accesibility.

In other words, would like to have a show that only appears every now and again, has little to no introduction, and is a bore to watch and a bit confusing, or would you rather have a show that presents itself greatly with a huge budget for lights and intros, is understood and talked about by the population, is easy to get into, and is enjoyable to watch?

Personally, I'd pick option B.
