US should have a Tribune of the Plebs
| Based on demographics how? How to avoid oppression of minorities/oppression of majorities? How are these people selected, or is it by everyone? How would they meet and decide? Who organizes and regulayes this, if anyone? Actually curious.
| It would need to be divided by race makeup of the population. As well as religious. They'd be voted but can't have party affiliation just like the supreme court. That has what i thought of so far. Regulation i'm not sure.
But all elections for tribune are government funded. To avoid conflict of interest.
| Elections would be every two years. Don't know if term limits should be a thing or not as their legislative power is a veto and not writing laws. It would be a simple majority for a veto to be enacted. Perhaps a key tribunal would be selected among them to add the reasoning.
| The size would have to be pretty large as well. To get an close to accurate representation of tje population
| Would there be a veto override? Also, its categorized by race, what about people of mixed race? What about Hispanic ethnicity, which isn't currently considered a race? Also as far as religion, what about the various sects and variants of religion? (ie all protestants in one group or divided by name?) Interesting ideas so far, looking forwards to the replies.

I would include hispanic.
White/European+Russian, MiddleEastern, Asian, African was what I was thinking. Which I guess would include hispanic in white.
But that could be seperated to its own.
Religion I'm unsure. It would have to be ones officially recognized as religions.
Having them all in parts would make it a large tribune, which isn't necessarily bad.
But it would be Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Jews, Sunni, Shia, Buddhism, Hindu . . .
| Sheikh if it were to be specific like that.
Could smash those to Christians, Islam, Indian origin religions, but that is so broad. Perhaps just the 5 most practiced faiths, but I'm ignorant on that subject however.
| Christian, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism
According to google.
I suppose that is a good break up of it. Maybe include athiest as well. Perhaps there would be a limited number, but that contradicts my first point about proportional representation

ARE YOU A COMMUNIST OR WHAT
ARE YOU FOR SOVIETS OR WHAT
ARE YOU A BOLSHEVIKI OR WHAT

| Based entirely on demographic ranges and can veto bills if they are not in the interest of common people.
