The original Constitution has always been a document with flaws. It is amazing that it has lasted for 230 years. And while I think a perfect Constitutional government is impossible, I believe ours requires major restructuring.
For example, twice in the last twenty years, the loser in the popular vote won the Presidential election due to the electoral college. We have issues with gerrymandering, voter suppression as well as urgan states be underrepresented.
I would argue that the US government be overhauled in its entirety. I believe we should move to a parliamentary system and get rid of state governments entirely and possibly implement maybe regional governments. However, if we keep our present system, at a minimum we should eliminate the electoral college and probably the Senate.
Our present system gives small states far too much power. The nation kowtows to the needs of Oklahoma, Montana and Idaho while at the same time ignoring New York and California.
