I actually should clarify. I meant 5 years from each law's passage, not a clean slate every 5 years all at once. I also was referring only to the Federal constitution and hence, only federal laws. This would restore power to the states. And if we also include a clause that the lawmakers must read the bills in their entirety before passage, we could ensure that they can't pass them so fast that they
can't be read. For those who want "stability" in government, I think the best way to stabilize it is to reduce the harm it can do.

Basically, I'm not liberal, but if people are going to propose outrageous liberal ideas, I want something to make sure that all the stuff they put into place actually works.

Actually big government is what we call liberal in America nowadays. The idea of a limited, decentralized government is completely "paleo-" conservative.
