This series contains two parts, one a set of constitutional reforms and the other a policy platform. Together, I believe these would fix a lot of the problems facing America today. You don’t have to agree, and I welcome all constructive feedback. This project is not meant to be incendiary nor otherwise disrespectful to the US Constitution and principles. It is a good-natured thought experiment from an enthusiastic student of history, political science and philosophy. I hope to inspire a thoughtful discussion of possible remedies for the issues plaguing our country, nothing more and nothing less.
This series is named after Tiberius and Gaius Sempronius Gracchus, the two great reformers of the Roman Republic. The two respective parts bare the first names of my inspirational figures, the combined set is titled after their family name, the Sempronia. For my own amusement, every entry in this set will be signed by the pseudonym “Gracchus” in the vein of the Federalist and Anti-federalist papers, which were attributed to various Roman politicians (Publius, Cato, Brutus, etc.) For some reason, nobody back then ever chose to honor the Gracchi brothers, and I think it’s time they got their due.
The Gaian Constitution
This is a directory of my constitutional reform project, a multi-part series where I propose an alternative government framework to better reflect the needs of a modern state. The name “Gaian” is a tribute to Gaius Sempronius Gracchus, a progressive reformer and my favorite politician of the Roman Republic.

Article I. The Bill of Rights
Article II. The Bill of Responsibilities
Article III. The Legislature
Article IV. The Executive
Article V. The Judiciary
Article VI. The Citizenry
Article VII. The Union
The Tiberian Platform
This is a directory of my policy reform project, a multi-part series where I propose a new philosophical and socio-economic framework to better suit the needs of the people. The name “Tiberian” is a reference to Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, a brave tribune of the plebeians and one of the most important politicians of the Roman Republic.
