Article 1 of the US constitution lays out how the Congress is structured and what powers it should have. It can be changed by passing constitutional amendments, but the bar for passing those is so high that it’s not realistic to think the current US Congress could or would change it for the better right now, for a whole bunch of reasons that are pretty evident.
Article one is where the founders put the design of the structure of the government, including the bullshit used to put their thumb in the scale of democracy, along with how they’re elected, what powers they (should) have and the limits of it (when they choose to enforce it).
never heard that
please explain
