Designing a Government
Rebuilding Democracy for the Next 500 Years
The current U.S. government was built for a world that no longer exists. Its foundation was laid before electricity lit our homes, before the internet connected our voices, and long before the complexities of modern life. We’re not here to tweak the old system. We’re here to build something entirely new.
This is not about replacing the Constitution, but about reinterpreting and rebuilding our government in a way that reflects today’s realities and tomorrow’s challenges, grounded in the spirit of democracy, freedom, and public service.
Nationwide Collaborative Design Process
In the first year of the Freedom 2028 presidency, we will launch a nationwide collaborative design initiative, centered around the political science departments of U.S. universities.
Participating institutions will be invited to submit full government redesign proposals—not to win a prize, but to contribute to a collective effort of national importance.
Step 1: University Submissions
Each school’s political science department will organize a process to submit a single proposal. These will include suggested structures, checks and balances, voting systems, leadership models, and long-term goals.
Step 2: Local and Regional Review
Submissions will be reviewed and refined through a multi-stage process:
First by university faculty and students
Then by panels at the city and county level
Followed by broader state-level collaboration and review
Each state will ultimately advance one refined proposal to the national level.
Step 3: National Synthesis
From the 50 statewide submissions, three will be selected to participate in a collaborative design process. These teams will work together—supported by scholars, facilitators, and the public—to merge their ideas into a single, unified system.
This will become the new model for U.S. governance—crafted not by politicians or corporations, but by students, educators, and citizens working together.
Leadership That Serves a Shared Vision
This system will be built with a 500-year future in mind. Elected leaders will no longer steer the country based on personal beliefs or partisan goals. Their role will be to guide us steadily toward the shared long-term vision established by the people through this collaborative process.
Four-Year Transition Plan
Year 1: Design initiative launched and final government model produced
Years 2–3: Implementation of the new system across all levels of government
Year 4: Operational review, refinement, and public feedback integration
This transition will be inclusive, transparent, and participatory—a true act of national co-creation.
Tri-Presidential System
We propose a system with three co-equal Presidents:
President of Governance & Law
President of Domestic Wellbeing
President of Innovation & Global Strategy
Each president will be elected separately and held accountable for their domain. This ensures balance, cooperation, and a reduction in centralized power.
Decentralized Administration
Power will be returned to the regions, allowing communities to solve problems based on their own realities.
Power will be returned to the regions, allowing communities to solve problems based on their own realities — while still operating within the basic laws of the federal government to ensure that all people are treated fairly, humanely, and equally across the nation.
Regional councils—made up of elected representatives from local communities—will have increased decision-making power over housing, infrastructure, environment, and public planning.
They will have flexibility to implement local solutions for healthcare delivery and education methods - but must operate within national guidelines that guarantee universal access, fairness, and baseline standards.
This ensures every citizen has the same foundational rights and care, no matter where they live.
Rather than issuing one-size-fits-all mandates, the federal government will act as a connector and resource hub.
It will provide:
• Foundational legal and human rights protections
• Funding and infrastructure support
• Data systems and knowledge sharing
• Oversight to prevent abuse or corruption
But local solutions will take the lead wherever possible.
Digital Democracy and Bio-Secure Voting
We will modernize the way citizens engage with democracy:
Secure, bio-encrypted voting systems with paper backups.
Public access to real-time voting, polling, and civic feedback tools.
Participation and Transparency
In the new model:
All budgets, decisions, and communications will be publicly available.
Leadership will guide the vision chosen by the people, not rewrite it to suit themselves.
