That way people can make a change to law without having to riot/protest?
Technology could be used to secure voting in the future.

Suggestions for improving democracy, or answering my question welcome?

Previous question in 2016

Or make Congress/Parliament terms shorter? Say every two years instead of the usual four? Or even one year?

Shorter terms just means the politicians spend their careers in perpetual campaign mode, even more so than now. It’s bad enough with members of the US House of Representatives, who are elected to two-year terms. At least members of the US Senate, elected to six-year terms, have a little time in which they don’t have to worry about campaigning.
