Expand the size of the House to approximately 1,000 members (from current
435), so House members can be closer to their constituents, and to level the playing field
in House elections.
1) identify a major issue or problem in American politics today
2) explain why the reader should consider this an issue or problem (in other words: So what? What principles or values or important
practices are at stake?)
3) elaborate a reform, bill, or constitutional amendment that might remedy the issue or
problem
4) consider counterarguments and potential downsides to your reform (What principles or values or
practices might have to be sacrificed to a degree? What tradeoffs might be required? What potential unintended consequences should we be aware of?).
