Political Disarray in the Free States

As the years have passed, it has become more and more apparent that the current government of the American Free States is not sustainable. Many of the Founding Fathers of the Upper and Lower Congresses have died or retired from their positions, leaving either unfit heirs or none at all to take their place. As a result, the Assembly has gradually taken over more and more political and legislative power within the nation. Now many are calling for the complete abdication of the Congress, and the establishment of a more directly democratic society in line with radical Enlightenment ideals.
