The system did not fail. The people would have to VOTE out the nonsense in Congress(refer to the 10th Amendment). I fully think, that our system has been hijacked by some zealots calling themselves by several names and labels.
A system that allows itself to be manipulated by zealots into dysfunction is a failed system.
You have to be politically naive to insist that our problems will be solved through popular vote. The same failed system has ensured that we are only given a false choice that is but a different side of the same coin. You can choose whether heads or tails is displayed, but the coin itself remains largely unchanged. The only assurance here is that the value of the coin will depreciate.
I can't be certain what your point is regarding the 10th amendment. It was largely considered unnecessary at the time of adoption and has been effectively neutered by the Commerce Clause since.
