A truly representative Government
I'd like to change the voting system to be more representative
A person could petition for a seat and if they get the apportioned amount of signatures, they get a seat. And anyone can revoke their signature at any time. When the number of signatures goes below the apportioned amount, they lose their seat.
Constitution
article 1
section 2
The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five and Georgia three.

Or what if, a person campaigned to be a representative in congress.
That person got 30,000 people to sign a contract with them. The contract stated that they would be the representative for that 30,000 people.
One argument is that congress would become too big
The efficiency of decision making goes down as the number of decision makers goes up
