Bodily autonomy as a right (no banning abortions, gender transitioning, bionics)
Separation of Church and State as the actual law of the land
Districts are now no bigger than 50,000 people and they all get a representitive, and all the recognized Amerindian tribes also get their own reps (an agreement was made with the Cherokee for them to get one but it was never fulfilled)
2nd Amendment replaced with something that directly allows federal government to regulate but not ban firearms.
Overall I’d keep it lean (the US constitution is really short and covers a lot less than most constitutions)
i wouldn’t go with ranked choice voting. all the systems i know of have their own flaws: IRV can have really weird results with more than three candidates, Borda count disproportionately favors the moderate, and the Condorcet method can completely fail to select a winner. instead, what about approval voting, where instead of ranking candidates, you just check as many boxes as you want?
and the Condorcet method can completely fail to select a winner.
That one’s not a flaw. All elections can suffer from ties. Pure Condorcet just makes it obvious when there’s a tie (and this is very rare). There are a bunch of Condorcet completion methods for resolving the tie.
USA:
Prison slavery abolished
Elected judges with term limits
Ranked Choice Voting

I wonder if the body autonomy thing would work against for you mandating vaccines
I’m not big on elected judges. I’d rather keep them appointed so they wouldn’t have to pander to anyone.
Appointed judges already failed to prevent that.
Yeah I know, but elections are an overcompensation. Adding term limits and throwing in some anti-corruption reforms would be better I think.
