So your intent is not to revert (or reestablish) but to change 
(establish).  I think this is what I was saying.

If you are advocating true direct democracy as "more reflective of the 
majority", then I respectfully disagree with the premise that it would be a 
net good.   I like the checks and balances offered to smaller states as 
protection from larger states. The majority, by the way, doesn't 
vote.  What do we do then?  Call the election for lack of interest?
