Miscellaneous
We pose the question: is it possible to impose democracy on a society like Massachusetts? We discuss the strange, labyrinthine process of getting laws or policies changed in Massachusetts, which no normal citizen has much chance of keeping track of, let alone changing. We look into the history of the state's system of government, particularly the superfluous Senate, which was set up to prevent democracy and keep the poor out of politics.
