The United States has an anti-democratic tyrannical indirect minority rule
government due to having-
(1) one vote for each U.S. Representative in the U.S. House of
Representatives regardless of the number of votes he or she receives in being
elected,
(2) one vote for each U.S. Senator in the U.S. Senate regardless of the
number of votes he or she receives in being elected, and
(3) the "Electoral College" with its state by state winner-take-all feature
for electing the U.S. President and Vice-President.
In the 1994 election, 26.80 percent of the voters elected 218 of the 435 U.S. Representatives with the lowest votes.
In the 1990-1992-1994 elections, 10.58 percent of the voters elected 51 of the 100 U.S. Senators with the lowest votes.
In the 1992 election, the President and Vice-President were defacto elected by 22.56 percent of the voters (in 28 States and D.C. with 275 of 538 electoral votes) (those States and D.C. having a Clinton votes/electoral votes ratio of less than 98,858).
The remedy for the above ANTI- DEMOCRATIC and TYRANNICAL defects in the U.S. Constitution include the following DEMOCRACY reforms:
1- A uniform definition of U.S. Elector for directly nominating and electing
Representatives and the President,
2- The use of multi-member districts and proportional representation for
electing U.S. Representatives (such that each Representative has a voting
power equal to the number of votes he or she receives in the general election
directly or transferred from losing candidates- producing indirect majority
rule with minority representation in every district),
3- Abolition of the U.S. Senate, and
4- The direct nonpartisan nomination and election of the President and
Vice-President.

Section 8 Example (not part of Amendment)
C = Candidates Voting Power
C1 22 = 22 = 23
C2 20 = 20 + 5 = 25
C3 15 = 15 + 3 = 18
C4 12 + 5 = 17 = 17
C5 12 + 1 = 13 -13 = 0
C6 11 + 3 = 14 + 2 = 16
C7 9 - 9 = 0 = 0
VNT 0 = 0 +2 = 2
100 100 100
C7 Loses C5 Loses
VNT= Votes not transferred
Notes- 1. With the section 8 proportional representation system it is not
necessary to have districts with equal populations (i.e. use square/
rectangular districts with "major" boundaries) or to have primary elections.
2. The section 14 system is "approval voting" (which will avoid "extremist"
candidates). No primary election is necessary.
