Basis for a Constitution

One aspect of great significance is the requirement that anyone aspiring to Public Office must have a university degree, so many years of military service, so many years in business, so many years in agriculture, etc. Two aspects to this approach are attractive-
1- One gains significant real world experience in those endeavors one elects to govern.
2- By the time one has achieved success in each of the designated fields, one is much too old and wealthy to be easily corrupted.
Whatever criteria one uses for establishing a power structure, it should be a meritocracy, not a popularity contest…
