Chapter 1: Structure of Constitution
Articles 1.1: Power of the Constitution
_1.1.a Power
The constitution has no value outside the support of the People.
_1.1.a-1 Changes
The Constitution can only be changed by the People directly.
_1.1.a-1.1 Changes, warning
When a Referendum is to be held proposing change to the
Constitution, that Referendum can not be held before time
has passed of equal length to the time a Government can be
in office (see Article 3.1.c, Electing Government), starting
from the moment the Referendum is posted in the required
location as to be held (see Article 3.1.b-4, Transparency).
_1.1.a-1.2 Changes, delay
Changes to the Constitution become law after a three month
waiting period, starting from the day both the procedure for changing
the constitution has been met and the result has been published
widely. Before the last month of the delay starts, the ratification
Referendum can be done again, the Referendum with most people
casting a vote will decide.
_1.1.b Scope
The constitution is the supreme set of rules.
_1.1.b-1 False law
Laws and Government decisions conflicting with the Constitution
are void. Police is not to enforce, the Judiciary is to reject,
and the Government is to retract such laws and decisions.
_1.1.b-2 Unity of Law
The constitution is one and the same across the entire Nation.
_1.1.c Flag
The flag of the Constitution is divided in a top and a bottom half.
In the middle a shape resembling an Omega letter.
This represents a pair of scales, symbol for democracy, it is the peace
flag of the Constitution.
The peace flag of the Constitution is to be displayed alone by itself
or in the highest position above an identity flag.
_1.1.c-1 Flag of war
When a Government is at war - or orders to use weapons greater in power
then needed to kill a lion to subdue other human beings - all the
Constitutional flags in possession of the Government are to be turned
upside down. This represents a bull head with horns, symbol for war, for
when the Government is at war, it is the war flag of the Constitution.
The war flag of the Constitution is shown under a flag which
denotes the identity at war.
Nobody is to accept any order from any commander to wage war without
the official widespread display of the war flag.
Exception: see Article 3.2.b-3.1, Weapons Authorization.
_1.1.c-1.1 Flag democracy
A Constitutional peace flag signals a wish for peace and not
war, referring to the the identity of the identity flag if one
is shown. A Constitutional war flag - which is the Constitutional
war flag below an identity flag - signals a wish for war action
by that identity. A reversed Constitutional peace flag without
an identity flag above it has an unidentifiable meaning, it is
a display of error on the part of the display construction.
With the Constitutional flag display can be displayed ribbons
in several colors.
A black ribbon signals there is not currently war or peace
as it is wished by the Constitutional flag shown.
A white ribbon signals there is currently war or peace
as is wished by the Constitutional flag shown.
A blue ribbon signals a wish for change of the Government
identified by the identity flag.
A green ribbon signals a wish for the present Government
identified by the identity flag, to remain in power.
A golden ribbon signals a wish for King Rule in the Country
identified by the identity flag. See Article 1.4.a, King Rule.
Articles 1.2: Territory
_1.2.a Territory
The Country assembles not more then 100.000.000, one hundred million,
potential voters.
_1.2.a-1 New Territory
Groups of 1 million residents in a consecutive geographic area
can step out of the Country if they achieve a Two Third Majority
in a Referendum where abstentions count as votes against stepping out,
two consecutive times with an interval of 5 years between them;
without there being a Majority against leaving the Country with at
least half of the local people voting in it, within 10 years after
the first of the two consecutive Referendums. Then the region is
independent and out of the Country, 10 years after the first Referendum.
These Referendums must be widely published in the concerning area,
or they will be invalid.
The New Country is formed by taking with it an amount of natural
resources equal to the combined total of resource rights for the
people who come to live in the new territory, including an equal
amount of non-distributed natural resources - such as nature and
public land - according to the percentage of people that will be
living there.
_1.2.a-1.1 New Territory, lost
When the new country contains fewer then 1 million people
before 100 years have gone by, the area falls back to the
original country, unless the original country decides to reject
it.
_1.2.a-1.2 New Territory, border
The border of both Countries will not develop enclosed sovereign
areas. It will be a simplified line, in such a way that both
Countries will have a coherent shape necessary to easily determine
in what Country a person is.
_1.2.a-1.3 New Territory, more
An area bordering a New Territory will join that New Territory
before 10 years have passed of it having become independent, if
they reach a Majority in Referendum where abstentions count as votes
against joining, if the New Territory accepts the application to
join.
_1.2.a-2 Larger Territory
The Country Council, see Article 3.1.d-5, Country Council, can
accept a new area into the country.
_1.2.a-3 Territorial Limits
The territory extends as far as the eye can see into uninhabitable
territory - such as the sea - with respect to that right for other
Nations.
_1.2.a-4 International Territory
When a petition of Nations representing more then Two Third of the
world population is offered regarding an issue on International
Territory, the petition will be read before the Country Council, see
Article 3.1.d-5, Country Council. This right exists only once
a year for a half hour duration.
Articles 1.3: Nation of Law
_1.3.a Equality
All people living in the Country are equal under the Law. None are
above and none are below the Law.
_1.3.a-1 Lasting Freedom
When no National Laws in the common interest, no decisions to
favor the common interest from bodies created by the Constitution
in the common interest, curtail a person its freedom, that person
is assumed to have an active right to make any decision desired. A
person can not lose or sell their right to make decisions: a person
can not sell itself into slavery. A person cannot lose or sell their
entitlements and responsibilities awarded to them by the law.
Articles 1.4: State of Chaos
_1.4.a King Rule
The Electoral Committee declares a state of chaos when the Country
is in Chaos, at which time the King takes over the Government and
the making of non-Constitutional Law. The Electoral Committee can end
the state of chaos at any time.
The state of chaos lasts not longer then one year and one day, after
which there is one month of normal Governmental rule. One month after
the end of the state of chaos, new elections for the Electoral Committee
are being held, unless the condition of Article 1.4.a-2, King Rule,
Stability, has been met.
See Article 3.1.c-1, Electoral Committee.
See Article 3.1.c-1.8, King Elect.
_1.4.a-1 King Rule, Banner
During the state of chaos, all the flags in possession of the
Government are to fly a golden banner.
_1.4.a-2 King Rule, Stability
When the same King is re-elected after a period of King Rule, then
gets another period of King Rule within one year after that election,
and after that second closely following period of King Rule is again
elected King, then the obligation in Article 1.4.a, King Rule, to elect
a new Electoral Committee after a period of King Rule is suspended
until the King loses its Kingship.
Chapter 2: Structure of Individual Protections
Articles 2.1: Individual Protections
_2.1.a No Harm
The human body can not be harmed. Not for the purpose of of extracting
information (torture), or for the purpose of punishment, or any other
purpose against the will of that particular human body (person).
_2.1.a-1 Compensation
The People or in their absence the Government will set compensations
in case of convicting innocent people.
_2.1.a-2 Animals
Animals are not to be treated with cruelty.
_2.1.b Free speech
People have the right to express any opinion they want.
_2.1.b-1 No insult
People have a right not to be repeatedly, apparently directly,
apparently purposefully insulted in public areas, in a difficult way
to escape.
_2.1.c Freedom of Assembly
People are free to assemble themselves in organized groups. Groups who
have as their aim the changing of the Government and/or society system
in whatever way, can not be disbanded because of their ideas.
_2.1.d Property Right
Your legal property can not be taken away from you. You can not
take away the legal property of someone.
_2.1.e Privacy
A person has a natural right to Privacy of his personal belongings,
body and home.
See also Article 3.2.b-4, Police and Privacy.
Articles 2.2: Justice
_2.2.a Fair trial
All people when sufficiently suspected of a crime are tried by an
objective, impartial and competent judiciary, in public. Equal cases are
treated equally. In case of a public prosecutor, neither the prosecution or
Judges know the defendant personally or have a direct relation with the
defendant. In case of two claiming parties, the Judge knows neither
personally or has a direct relation with either.
Justice is done according to the published Laws that held on the moment
the crime occurred.
_2.2.a-1 Presumed innocent
People suspected of crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
_2.2.a-2 Equal pleading effort
Someone suspected of crime has the right to plead its case at least
for one and a half the amount of time as its accuser(s) are pleading.
_2.2.a-3 Competent Defense
Each person accused of a crime appearing before a Court is either
represented or assisted by someone competent in the Law and evidence.
This competent defense will attempt to make it appear that the accused
person is not guilty. Judgement about guilt must be left completely in
the hands of the Judge, to no extend is it the job of the defense. When
the Judge believes the defense is significantly lacking in the quality
of its defense under the Law, the Judge will resolve the matter after
consultation with another Judge, until a competent defense and objective
Justice is being provided.
_2.2.a-4 International Justice
People can be extradited to another Country, without the right of that
country to extradite them to yet another Country, where they have
committed a crime according to our system of Justice, a crime that
would also be a crime in our Country.
The Country Council may prevent the extradition, in which case
the convicted individual can be punished for the crime in our Country.
_2.2.a-5 Trial not Punishment
The proceedings of the trial may not themselves become a form of
punishment, beyond a reasonable duty to work with the Judiciary as an
innocent person, in the common interest. Persons who have previously
been convicted and been to prison for a crime of greed, may be held
in less comfortable environment during trial. A valid trial only occurs
once with the same evidence.
_2.2.b Fair punishment
People being punished to have their freedom of movement removed, have
the right to ask for segregation from other such convicted people for
the duration of the punishment.
_2.2.b-1 Fair punishment, reading
People convicted are never denied the right to read commonly available
materials.
Articles 2.3: Additional rights for Children
_2.3.a Right to be cared for
A child which does no longer wish to live with its parents, is cared
for by the Government.
A child which wants to live with its parents, is released to the parents.
A child has the right to know who its parents are and where they are.
The government can not keep parents away from a child if that child does
not want its parents to be kept away.
The child in Government care does not pay, at any time, for the care
it receives, but has the right to hold Government responsible to
the same extend parents are responsible for their children, at any time.
Chapter 3: Structure of Government
Articles 3.1: Structure of Government
_3.1.a Government Intention
The Government decisions are the accurate representation of the
present will of the People. The task of the elected Government is to
find out and carry out the will of the People. The elected delegates
together attempt to steer the Government Majority into accordance
with the will of the People, and avoid going against the present
will of the People.
_3.1.a-1 Declare opinion
The elected delegates express their personal opinions of the moment
regarding issues the Government is concerning itself with, or the area
they concern themselves with in particular.
_3.1.a-2 Task Accountability
If a delegate or a representative elected to Government by the
delegates, does not perform a clear and specific task it claimed
to carry out after being elected, then the court of Justice will
appoint someone most willing and sufficiently able to carry out
the task in its place, using the same authority as the replaced
representative.
_3.1.b Referendum
The People make direct decisions by way of referendum, voting of
all willing people individually and directly.
The number of abstentions is divided by the number of representatives
in the body concerned with the referendum, each representative is
allowed to add that number of votes to the option of its choice.
The abstentions-adjusted result determines fractions with which options
won votes in the total of votes. Decisions are made by majority
of the votes that want at least a certain minimum decision, the greatest
common denominator. Representatives can continuously change how their
abstentions have voted. New representatives take over the power of
representatives that have left the governing body when determining what
abstentions have voted.
Exception: see Article 3.1.c-1.1.1, Electoral Committee, mandate eject.
Exception: see Article 1.2.a-1, New Territory.
_3.1.b-1 Initiative Referendum
The People can take the initiative to have a referendum, by
showing signatures on a Petition for a percentage of the People.
A percentage of local people for a local Referendum if the issue
is local, a National percentage is the issue is National.
The minimum percentage on a Petition to have a Referendum: ..[10%].
_3.1.b-2 Scope Referendum, particular
When a referendum on a particular issue breaks laws, the
scope of the result of the referendum is limited to the decision
made.
_3.1.b-3 Scope Referendum, law
When a referendum explicitly sets a new law, the new law can
not be curtailed by any other non-Constitutional law or Government
decisions.
_3.1.b-4 Transparency
All referendums are to be announced clearly in the same location,
in generally understandable and sufficiently short language.
_3.1.b-5 Decision Repealed
All decisions of Government can be repealed by the People
at any and all times, about any and all decisions.
_3.1.b-6 Representatives Repealed
All members of Government, elected delegates and employees, can
be ejected from their post any moment by the People using a
Referendum. The People or in their absence the majority of elected
delegates appoint a replacement. When it concerns a delegate, a
replacement remains in its position at the pleasure of the People
or in their absence the Government, until the next elections for the
Government body it concerns. Voters thus deprived of representation
remain deprived until the next elections.
_3.1.b-7 Authority
The outcome of a referendum containing two thirds (2/3) of the
People's - not abstention adjusted (see Article 3.1.b, Referendum) -
vote for a particular choice, has the highest Authority, but it does
not circumvent Constitutional duties required to change the
Constitution (see Article 1.1.a, Power.)
_3.1.b-7.1 Vote Decay
Referendums follow a rule of decay in time, so that their power
eventually becomes nothing, but has a clearly defined power in
the near future.
_3.1.b-7.1.1 Vote Decay, speed
Referendums lose present-day power with the same speed
that people on average die.
_3.1.b-7.1.2 Vote Decay, addition
Referendums on the same issue but different in time have
their numbers not added together, but the largest decay
adjusted count of people in favor of a certain choice,
retains the monopoly of the present-day count, the lesser
absolute count majority being ignored, unless the condition
of article Article 3.1.b-7, Authority has been met.
_3.1.c Electing Government
Delegates are elected every ..[5]. years.
_3.1.c-1 Electoral Committee
Elections are ordered to occur at a date set by the Electoral
Committee.
_3.1.c-1.1 Electoral Committee, mandate
The Electoral Committee is always elected in whole, unless
a two third majority Referendum as defined in Article 3.1.b-7,
