Parties & Caucus's Vs Representation

"They are not to do anything they please to provide for the general welfare, but only to lay taxes for that purpose. To consider the latter phrase not as describing the purpose of the first, but as giving a distinct and independent power to do any act they please which may be good for the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless. It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please.... Certainly no such universal power was meant to be given them. It was intended to lace them up straightly within the enumerated powers and those without which, as means, these powers could not be carried into effect." --Thomas Jefferson, 1791
   Elected officials today and how they represent their constituent’s compounds what Jefferson decried by not considering all equally by; Balkanizing the Congress, the Judiciary and the Bureaucracy through the Administrative Branch by specialized groupings of citizens and specialized considerations for each. No such view of American citizens was ever contemplated by the Constitution but is the hallmark of progressive minds in government.
   No Caucus formed in Congress on specialized issues that exclude any other members from participating because of party, gender, race or sexual preference etc is Constitutional. The Constitution gives congress the right to establish there own rules but only if those rules fall within the spirit and intent of equal representation of there constituents, which the present caucus system fails miserably to do, and is the example they have set for society at large that has created most of the civil strife we all live with today.  
   This illegal activity in congress must stop and their rules regarding Caucus’s changed if they are to ever be able to represent all their constituents on a equal footing. While were at it, party control of branches of government is also unconstitutional.
   Party control and influence in government is the source and cause of government corruption through-out, that is why our representatives no longer care what individual constituents think about anything only what the given party leaders say or instructs them that counts anymore, they have all become rubber stamps for the civilian unelected party elites as a forth and I might say Unconstitutional branch of government.
   Politics is the art of deceit once elected we the people expect politics to stop at door of all government offices.
Political Science (sic) is just that, the teaching of our youth in the art of deceit.
   Under these conditions in American government all they have accomplished is to make all true Patriots enemies’ of the State
