It is essentially an example of a 4 points program: 1. Democratic Authorities (Government) [chapter 1, 2, 3, 4] 2. Democratic Ventures (Businesses) [chapters 5, 6, 7] 3. Democratic Investments (Finance) [chapter 8] 4. Democratic Demarcations (Resource distribution) [chapter 9] The Constititution below should be seen as one possible implementation of these 4 points, a prototype that is meant to show that - and how - it can work. Please give your comment, especially if you feel something is wrong with it, something could be better. Most articles have arguments attached to them in this version: http://www.xs4all.nl/~joshb/constitution.html _______________________________________ Chapter 1: Constitution Article 1.1: Power of the
