> You are misunderstanding the word 'constitution'.

If you want to use that word in an unusual way, that's fine; but I didn't understand that that's how you were using it in reference to regulatory bodies created by US statutes. ("Statute", btw, is the usual way of referring to laws that tell what regulatory bodies can and should do.)

> You know dude, I'm not really sure you know how the government functions.

You know, I'm not really sure you know how to describe how the government functions using proper terminology. If you had said "statute" in the first place, which, as above, is the correct term for what you are referring to, I would have understood what you said right away. But you didn't.

> Your representatives create and modify acts that allocate funds to fund regulatory bodies to enforce laws.

Yes, and these are called "statutes", not a "constitution".

In different countries it is called different things. The point being, you can change it through your elected representatives if you so choose.

It sounds complex but it can be had for around 5 dollars a month and a good setup guide if you don't know Linux well.

Why do you need a good setup guide though? Is there no solution of similar efficacy that I can have my mom, who still uses AOL, install?

PIA

Super easy setup and config. Download the app for the VPN, generate SOCK5 cteds for the proxy via their site.

How so? They're easy to set up, especially with a compatible router.

I mean... why is it hard for the majority of users to use linux? Why is it hard for the majority of users to use a password manager? Because most people on the planet are busy and don't give a damn .

Right, so it's not at all out of reach. You can configure your OS to use a VPN in under a minute, in my experience. Maybe five, if you were following directions.

It also takes a few minutes to change your smoke-detector batteries...

the difference is the communication act of 1934 essentially lets the FCC create laws whereby the police etc don't have that power. the power to create laws should be held by elected officials imo. the 5 leaders of the FCC get to unilaterally make regulations (laws) that affect every single citizen in america. everything from tv broadcasts to net neutrality

No, it allows them to create regulations within the framework of the act of their constitution. They can't create laws that stop someone fishing for tuna, now can they? This is the same as road/highway authorities being able to set traffic speed zones, food authorities for setting health quality regulations, health bodies regulating medicines, or any other regulatory body. You don't like it? Get you politician to cha…

except speed limits are enforced by police. huge administrative authorities have executive, law making, and judicial power.

The [Federal Trade] Commission promulgates substantive rules of conduct. The Commission then considers whether to authorize investigations into whether the Commission’s rules have been violated. If the Commission authorizes an investigation, the investigation is conducted by the Commission, which reports its findings to the Commission. If the Commission thinks that the Commission’s findings warrant an enforcement action, the Commission issues a complaint. The Commission’s complaint that a Commission rule has been violated is then prosecuted by the Commission and adjudicated by the Commission. This Commission adjudication can either take place before the full Commission or before a semi-autonomous Commission administrative law judge. If the Commission chooses to adjudicate before an administrative law judge rather than before the Commission and the decision is adverse to the Commission, the Commission can appeal to the Commission. If the Commission ultimately finds a violation, then, and only then, the affected private party can appeal to an Article III court. But the agency decision, even before the bona fide Article III tribunal, possesses a very strong presumption of correctness on matters both of fact and of law.
