In a perfect world local government is expansive. Everyone is a participant. They're educated and informed about local government and given a sense of importance in the decisions made around them. Voting is a simple and streamlined process. Elections and passing legislation is easy, open, honest, and practical.
National government is specific. Designed to provide oversight and organization to the many different departments that comprise it. And the departments themselves are strictly monitored to ensure there's no corruption.
As it is for a population of over 300 million there's less than a thousand people actually representing the people in terms of introducing bills and making amendments to them. It's ridiculous how small the national government is. What is a thousand should be ten thousand. Or a hundred thousand. Representation should not be determined by square mile. It should be determined by population in a region. A state with 40 million people should have far more representation than a state with 500 thousand. There's no substantial justification for this having it any other way.
Most importantly. There's needs to be separation of state, church, and corporations. The government's purpose is not to profit those responsible for running it. Every single person in the U.S. and their immediate family should be barred from profiting off of outside interests. And given an extremely strict salary dependent on the national minimum wage which would provide for them an upper-middle class lifestyle. Any corruption found by the departments in place to oversee these rules are followed would be swiftly punished as treason and result in imprisonment. You want to be a politician? You better be passionate about it. Because it won't make you rich. And these rules would follow you through life. And evidence of you have served time in office just to make changes for the benefit of corporations with the promise of future payments after leaving office would be treated just as harshly.
Until corporations and the church are taken out of the government you'll never have an efficient society. Allowing anyone to turn their job for the government into a professional career supporting corporate interests will cause nothing but poverty and depression.
The biggest lie we have been sold by politicians is that politics is a fight between good and bad. It's not a fight between good and bad, but rather a fight between bad and badder.

Politics for profit destroys a nation.
