The Starship Troopers model gives people the right to vote and run for public office if, and only if, they serve the country in some capacity for two years. All laws that are passed have to apply to both citizens and civilians equally. This system ensures that responsibility and freedom are inseparable. There are plenty of smart people unwilling to sacrifice an ounce to enact the policies they favor. Give me someone who wants to be part of government enough to serve for a period of time, and I can almost guarantee they vote more responsibly.

Sounds like communism, honestly.
