There is a lot of information out there about the causes of these two crashes (and there is still a lot to be known), but what you do know is not factually correct.
The accidents likely occurred because of a number of factors (broken sensors, poor maintenance, lack of clear information to pilots, lack of redundancy, pilot error, etc), but there is nothing wrong with the physical design of the MAX. Never has been.
