OK, I'll play this game.
DITCHING THE CONGRESSIONAL CAP
There is a 535 member limit on Congress that has been in effect for sometime. Unfortunately, newer states did not join the US until after the rule took effect, so some states lost representation, and the US population has grown much larger since then.
PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION FOR CONGRESS
The individual states will elect representatives to their respective seats allotted them the House of Representatives using PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION. This will replace congressional districts and the problem of GERRYMANDERING.
Each party will be free to divide respective states into administrative districts as they see fit. This will maintain the constituent aspect from the previous system. Who runs in those party districts will be decided by party primaries in each of those districts. This will ensure that you are still voting for the CANDIDATE, not the PARTY, for the region of the state that you live in. IRV (instant run-off voting) shall be utilized for ALL party primaries in ALL parties deciding to run. All party primaries will be open, but you can only vote once out of all primaries for that election cycle.
If you live in State A, and that state has 10 seats in the House, then the Democratic Party, for instance, can divide the state into 10 districts in a way it sees fit, and citizens in those districts who are Democrats can vote on the candidates who choose to run in that particular party district.
As a result, your address could, for instance, be in the 4th Democratic District but also could be in the 3rd Republican District or the 5th Green District as well. You take the district of the party of which you are are a member.
THE SENATE
Abolish the Senate entirely. Small states like Mississippi should not have the power to cancel out the will of a larger state like, say, Massachusetts. We will have a unicameral congress.
ELECTION REFORM AND REFERENDUMS
The president will be elected by DIRECT POPULAR VOTE. This requires the abolition of the antiquated Electoral College. IRV (instant run-off voting) will be instituted for the seat of president. If no one wins an outright majority, then there must be run-offs.
The president can be recalled half-way through his (or her) term if a regulation petition can garner enough signatures equal to or greater than TWO-THIRDS of the number of votes that went to the president in the last election. Valid signatures must come from ELIGIBLE voters only and those who were 18 on the day the petition was started.
The people themselves will be empowered to pass laws through resolutions. This will be done with regulation petitions. To trigger a referendum vote on a resolution, the number of signatures on the petition must equal to or greater than TWO-FIFTHS of the total number of
ELIGIBLE voters according to the latest Census taken.

If I truly had my way, I wouldn't care about republican forms of government at all.
I'd agitate for libertarian socialism governed in a direct democratic manner. I'd push for a confederation of independent communities.
