Feel free to add your own comments of course, and name it something sensible; especially if you change laws. You never know if your work becomes well known, and nobody needs chaos with so many laws flying around left and right, especially if you do not modify the article names (for a new model I try to use new part names.)
Each new Constitution here proposed will have a special name and a number, to prevent things spiraling out of control into chaos. They are all in www.law4.org/choice. They have significantly different laws, but follow the general themes of a DAVID system (democratic Government, democratic companies, socialized finance and land distribution). They are not meant to be better or worse, they are just different. This is meant to stimulate debate, reduce the influence of any particular implementation of a DAVID system. There is not one way that is good or superior, so that all other ways are bad.
This Constitution is also presented (on purpose) as an unfinished work, where some new laws are merely argued in the section at the bottom, while others are put down without numbering and some are written as finished laws. This is an invitation to get creative yourself. In the Ratification proces of these laws, going from 3 to 7, 50 and 239 laws, this 240+ extended is the next and last step. It brings the Nation to a point where they can not merely copy these laws (if they had wished to do so before), but they will have to get their hands on their own lawmaking somehow (if they hadn't already, at least it can not completely come from this side any more.) This makes it culturally easier to later adjust the system as they see fit.
This is a Constitution based on the "239" Constitution that is condensed in length (complexity). It is a condensation of the comments on the medium length commented version, only attempting to capture the essential idea in each {N} block, without giving care to devious attacks on it, and preference to shortness. It is meant to have multiple written systems to choose from (in whole and part) so that any particular document does not become some sort of an obsession for some people making it hard to change anything. Even if the 239 version is chosen, that still means this (and different future DAVID system Constitutions) are not chosen. This way people will be forced to choose, and that hopefully means people are thinking about the content. Yet others can get their good ideas in because there would be a debate about content and things have to make sense on their own. If there is already a choice between "239" and "Condensed" then why not consider the improvements from other people ! Please, indeed ! Experiment ! Don't treat any of these proposals as any kind of authorative source for anything, thank you !
This Constitution is divided into Chapters and 'blocks,' the link points back to the "239 medium" Constitution, of the block of articles in that Constitution of which it is the reduction. Hence it points to another Constitution. One could also combine things, for example to take this "Condensed" Constitution as 'the Constitution of the nation,' and then enact the "239" Constitution as the common law that describes more precisely how the Constitution is brought into practice in the day. That way the "239" Constitution becomes like a commentary on the "Condensed" Constitution, of particular interest for the Judiciary. The reverse of that is also possible, among endless other possibilities replacing and adding things from other people.
This Constitution is very short and thus easily read and ratified if agreed. It can be used as a real Constitution. It can also be used to first ratify this one, and then see if the condensed version will be good and if so do and ratify that one, and then do the same with the detailed 239 version. This makes the ratification by the people something more then hand-waving, and allows time to do thing differently first at an essential level, then at progressively more detailed levels, thus providing a thorough and honest process which may not end up it this 239 Constitution. Whatever the people want should be done, that is the greater essence of this shorter Constitution. Here some more chatter about this consolidated version: consolidated-chatter.txt
Another step shorter is to only use the first 3, which establishes a way for a great amount of people (many millions) to form decisions together. Then within those councils all else can be decided, such as what is the economic system and so on. This is only setting up a Constitutional Assembly: Constitutional Assembly version (3 laws). It also is what you would do during a revolution: setting up the new Government and then that can become a constituting assembly, to propose a Constitution for the nation.
