The only advantages I want the state to have are those based in protecting the rights of the people. In other words, the enforcement of the Constitution against what I see as something thats grown just as, if not more powerful than the state itself regarding threatening what I see as the purpose of the 1st Amendment.

Power without an army is illusory. Even the strongest of them can be investigated and arrested. Constant real-time elections for some officials could make such cases more common.

1st Amendment is good, but don't underestimate the trolls. Bland enforcement can have unforeseen consequences.
