Bill of Rights? Do You have them?

Postby Libetarian Republics » Sun Aug 30, 2009 7:40 am

Do you have a "Bill of Rights"?


Definition of "Bill of Rights"?
A bill of rights is a list or summary of rights that are considered important and essential by a nation. The purpose of these bills is to protect those rights against infringement by the government.


An example would be The United States Bill of Rights

Heres our rights

  • I. The freedom of the people to speak in a manner, at a time and in a venue that they wish shall not be encroached upon.
  • II. The freedom of the people to possess and use any arm they can obtain for the purposes of self defense, defense of others, hunting, recreational purposes, just to watch things blow up or any other reason shall not be infringed for any reason, at any time, by anyone.
  • III. The freedom of the people to follow any religion or to not follow a religion shall not be infringed by the government. Whether its Christianity, Islam, Judaism, your girlfriend, or your mother the government has no right to interfere the belief of its people.
  • IV. The 3 unalienable rights; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happines, shall not be encroached upon. We are the self-defenders of the 3 unalienable rights and shall keep the backhand strong no matter what.

Yes, we have the Moralite Code of Rights and Limitations, which guarantees certain rights to the people, and limits the Moralite government, all in one document.

A "Bill of Rights" is not actually present per se, however relevant legislation is shown below:

- Subsection 1, Section 2, Speech Regulation Act.
It is an offence for any person to make a comment which insults, degrades, or vilifies another's colour, race, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origin. Those in violation of this subsection are subject to arrest without warrant and detention depending on the severity of the offence.

- Subsection 1, Section 7, Speech Regulation Act.
It is an offence for any person to make a comment that indicates the overriding presence or authority above that of the laws of Verlorenen or that of the High Chancellor. Those in violation of this subsection are subject to arrest without warrant and detention depending on the severity of the offence.

- Subsection 1, Section 5, Public Order Act.
It is an offence to assemble publicly with a group of 15 or more people. All constables in uniform shall have the power to disperse any group of 15 or more people summarily, using force as necessary. Those in violation of this subsection are subject to arrest without warrant, detention, and dispersal.

- Subsection 2, Section 8, Public Order Act.
It is an offence, to own, possess, construct, carry, distribute, mind, watch, secrete or hide any dangerous weapon, including but not limited to; firearms of any sort, crossbows, bows, knifes, swords, martial arts weapons, explosives, replica weapons, "toy" weapons, trophies of war, or anything else deemed to be able or made to directly or indirectly cause harm to a living thing.

- Subsection 1, Section 1, Arrest Procedures Act
In the event of an arrest with or without warrant, a Constable in uniform should issue the following warning to the person being arrested: "You are being arrested for crimes against the Protectorate of Verlorenen. Please remain orderly and quiet until you consult proper legal counsel. Be mindful that your actions and words perpetrated during this time will be known by your Judiciary Panel."
...
The arrested person should then be searched by a Constable in uniform for weapons, contraband, or other illegal or illicit substances prior to further transport into custody.
...
The arrested person should then be provided legal counsel to speak with him or her on the nature of their crime(s).

- Subsection 3, Section 1, Trial by Judiciary Panel Act
In the event of arrest with or without warrant, the accused person(s) will be given the privilege to have their case heard before a Panel of no more or less than (5) Justices. The person(s) will be given a reasonable time to argue the merits of their case and the State will do the same. The Justices will then render their decision on the punishment given (if any at all) towards the accused for their alleged crime(s).

Human rights in Fatatatutti are not codified per se because any rights not specifically mentioned might be construed as not being protected. For example, in some foreign jurisdictions, marriage rights are not laid out in the applicable Bill of Rights and that omission is used as an excuse to deny marriage rights to some people, such as homosexuals.

We rely instead on our opposition parties to defend the human rights of our citizens. Any legislation that infringed on a basic human right, like the right to marriage, would be vigorously opposed by opposition parties. If the legislation still passed, it would be the role of the Supreme Court to decide whether there was any infringement.

No, people are at the whim of various warlords, the community, their family, or themselves in the Pataari States, depending on where one lives.

I'd say we cover the topics of a Bill of Rights in the Constitution of Gynocracy.

I'd say that Article Five, Sections 1-11, of the Gynocracy Constitution were our Bill of Rights.

Of course, there are many 'rights' that other nations might consider to be lacking in our own arrangements but every nation is different and we make the laws as we feel them best suited to our own situation.

The Conglomerate has a clear bill of rights. The Upper Echelons command, the Middle and Lower Echelons Obey. The Middle Echelons Command the Lower Echelons obey. The Lower Echelons command, and they are massacred for treason and rebelling against the government.

Reavani has a simple Bill of Rights
1. Service is mandatory
2. Profit and Patriotism are the two most important things in the world, everything else is expendable.
3. You are Reavani's not Reavani is yours.
4. A warriors death is the only sure way to get into Reavi's golden citadel.
5. Reavani State Religion is the only acceptable one, die or accept Reavi.

The Kingdom doesn't have a Bill of Rights or a Constitution. We have something similar called the Book of Laws, which is a stone tablet with a few basic laws of the time period (850 BCE).

We don't bother with things like that.

Our constitution is very simple.

Rule 1 The woman is always right
Rule 2 The woman must be obeyed
Rule 3 The man is always to blame
Rule 4 Women can do anything they like except gender treason

That's about it for our Bill of Rights!

Affirmative. The Federal Republic of Ostronopolis has a very large portion of the constitution dedicated to the explanations and definitions of rights of man, women and children called The Laws and Articles of the Liberties of Man, and the Rights Thereof

Rights are too individualistic and tend to interfere with our social order. We discourage too much talk of "freedom", "liberty", and "rights". Some people, after all, think it their right to be superior to their equals. The only person who has constitutional rights is the Emperor/Empress.

The nation of Gynocracy is NOT a feminazi nation. It holds men in the greatest respect and grants them extensive rights under the law.

I certainly do NOT agree with the absurd and hate-filled rhetoric of this newcomer whose ideas on the roles of men and women are certainly NOT compatible with the separate but equal attitude we take in Gynocracy.
