All human problems stem from politics. Cancer only affects some individuals. A critical meteor would affect all life on Earth. Thus, all big problems that affect all humans are always politically generated.
Most political ideologies are good in theory, but always overlook various aspects and criteria, intentionally or not. The biggest issues they ALL ignore are corruption and secrecy. I would sign up to be a Communist, Democrat, Green, Libertarian, or Republican (or their Canadian equivalent parties) in a heartbeat if any of them could pragmatically and practically deliver on the promise to remove the corruption and secrecy that serves only the entrenched power structures that not only deceive, manipulate, steal, exploit, and murder their own citizens - but all the people of the world.
In short, my dream Amendment would be...
All governments (including their actions, actors/agents/representatives, accountings, communications, documents, organizations, and more) must be fully transparent and accountable to remove corruption and secrecy.
I dream big.
Freedom of speech is already supposed to be a thing. I'd say currency and economic freedom should be a thing too, but that quickly gets complicated - as does the monopoly on violence.
A better way to phrase "ban classified information" would be to expose or free all information.
And just as critically, make "authority" responsible by holding all wrong doers accountable - just as we're held accountable for crimes and offenses, malicious or not, intentional or not.
