There's a lot that went wrong with the American experiment.
1. The electoral college, which removes voting power from people who live in populated areas in favor of people who don't.
2. A system of governance that doesn't require coalitions and thus also stimulates a 2 party system.
3. No mechanism for federal legislation to occur through solely the actions of the voters. There should be a way for American voters to check the government through a legislative process that allows items to be put on the national ballots outside of congress and the president.
4. If every branch is meant to check every other branch, each branch should have an enforcement arm, so that if they're ignored, physical action can be taken.
