The New Constitution
Documents such as the Magna Carta and the United States Constitution indicate that
people have certain rights. Laws makers reinterpret these documents in ways that prevent
people from enjoying these rights. The situation has become intolerable as the courts
have become powerful factories where people are robbed of confidence. We must create
a new constitution that strictly specifies what is needed.
We the people declare what each person is justly entitled. Humans have built in social
instincts. These instincts cause us to construct working societies. We hold that all
people are endowed by nature with abilities to make a significant contribution to
a culture. Only in a healthy society will this natural potential grow. Since each
person must find this prospect for themselves no person or group of people may claim
to know better than the private individual. Each person must be free to experiment,
succeed or fail.
In a culture of mistrust, Laws are set up to protect us from ourselves. The government
becomes a manipulative tyrant. Without hesitation we declare that healthy development
of a person’s abilities cannot happen when institutions interfere. The unhealthy culture
of crime and poverty is the product of preventing people from making a contribution
to the culture. We wish to make a change that will save succeeding generations from
cruelty. Let us trust men rather than set up laws designed to cage him in. The laws
set up by the paranoid are unnecessary.
Let us accept that people are not property of the state, and the state has no right
to manipulate people in any way. All people are born with certain rights given to
them by divinity. Governments cannot give or take away these rights. These rights
include freedom. In a free society no person would be requires to live according to
any standards set up by any artificial institutions. Communication, movement and assembly
will be unrestricted. People would practice the religion of their own personal choice
and think however they choose.
In a free society each person would have a right to privacy. Private property would
not be searched. Private recorded information would never be use in a way that is
against the wishes of the recorded person. Collecting of private information about
people would be discouraged. No person would be required to testify to any private
matters. No person is required to take a chemical test in any form. A family would
have the right to behave as they see fit. All social services that interfere with
the family will be discontinued. No judge or authority would ever be allowed to issue
orders or warrants which violates any of these rights.
We would prefer to practice tolerance and live together as good neighbors, however
the constant threat from growing tyranny requires us to fight back. A strong defiant
stance is necessary to protect our rights. Men must defend themselves rather
than expect protection from governments. Each person has the right to own weapons
and may use these weapons against any government which threatens freedom. Private
Militias and gangs will be allowed. These militias are not required to be aligned
with any government. They are not required to wear a uniform.
Each person would be allowed to say how his culture should grow. Issues of interest
will be decided by a vote. A democratic government would never keep secrets from the
people. If a council is allowed to build a structure for Assembly, all work must be
done by volunteers labor and all material used must be free contributions. The Assembly
may not tax the citizens.
The use of money or gaining of profits would be discouraged. No person or groups of
people can claim to own land. A person may claim territory only as long as that person
benefits from the area. No person should own more than that person can carry. Anyone
with excessive wealth may have this wealth confiscated by anyone who is strong enough
to take it. No laws protecting commerce would be allowed.
All contracts are binding according to the custom they were enacted. A civil legal
department to manage these contracts will not exit. Laws suits will be nonexistent.
If an offended party requests a trial by a jury, an elder will serve as the mediator.
Both sides will be allowed to present their argument and bring forward witnesses.
The jury will recommend a settlement. The jury may not impose fines or punishment.
The settlement may be accepted or rejected by either party. No institution may prosecute
a person for any crime. Jails and prisons will not be constructed. No person will
be forced to reform. Everyone will be free to leave any territory at any time they
choose.
Justice cannot be produced by a department of justice. Justice is a healthy ecology.
No phony department of justice will be allowed. The badge of the police officer has
no valid authority. People will be free to explore their interconnected relationship
with nature. A healthy ecology will be encouraged. People have the right to defend
areas of land they choose to let grow naturally. Any police officers who attempt to
enforce a law inside our protected territory can be removed by whatever means necessary.
What we do now will have a profound impact on future generations and significantly
impact the lives of millions of people as we reaffirm faith in the fundamental dignity
and worth of people as a working part of the Gaia of planet Earth. We will have a
society where life can grow, where liberty will thrive and the pursuit of happiness
will once again be possible. We consider human potential to be true. We hold this
truth to be self-evident.
