Constitutional convention?

From time to time, partisans on both/all sides have called for a constitutional convention to change some aspect of the current constitution. Scholars contend that such a convention could be catastrophic because it could not be limited to any particular purpose and would create the possibility of rewriting everything (replacing the President with a ruling council, making courts subordinate to Congress, ending free speech, establishing a state religion, anything). There is also the problem that getting a whole new constitution approved by the states would be even harder than passing an amendment.

Nevertheless, subject for discussion: If you were rewriting the Constitution, what would you change? I would start with making the Senate more representative (expanding it as necessary), imposing term limits on Congress and federal judges, limiting the 2nd Amendment, and eliminating the Electoral College (probably priority one).

Discuss.
