Some Constitutional questions for debate
Which branch should be stronger if you had to choose, the Executive or the Legistlative?
Should states rights be more important than federal powers, or federal powers before states rights?
Does the Constitutional system need to be radically changed, or not?
Should we get rid of the Electoral College System for electing the President?
How does the President carries out laws passed by Congress? Can the President interpret laws and decide how to implement specific laws?
