Article II: The right of the people to petition the General Assembly and/or the Security Council of the World Assembly shall not be infringed.
Article III: The right of the people to freely pursue their religious and spiritual beliefs shall not be infringed.
Article IV: The right of the people to seek an enriching and inclusive education shall not be infringed.
Article V: The right of a swift and public trial by jury, the right against self incrimination, the right against double jeopardy, the right to a defense attorney, the right against illegal search and seizure, the right against excessive bail and bondage, and the right against unusual punishment shall not be infringed.
Article VI: The right of the people to seek equality based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and ethnicity will be upheld.
Article VII: Rights not explicitly listed within this Bill of Rights will still be upheld, and such rights should of right and ought to be reserved for the people.

The General Assembly of the World Assembly does recognize this Bill of Rights, and guarantees the rights it invokes will be enforced.

OOC: Some of these suspiciously similar to the amendments of the U.S. Constitution, which would make it illegal for plagiarism. Be careful with that; GenSec takes plagiarism pretty seriously.

One:
Ripped from the US constitution.

Two:
Duplicates existing resolutions

Three:
Rights? In my country? Bah!

[Grays Harbor]

Every single bit of this duplicates existing legislation. Except article 2, that one is outright illegal.

OOC:
This is the second time you have attempted wholesale plagiarism. You know better by now.

OOC: Putting aside the plagiarism violation, how do you propose to enforce and invoke these rights without a house of cards violation?

OOC: Putting aside the plagiarism violation, how do you propose to enforce and invoke these rights without a house of cards violation?

What HoC violation?

What HoC violation?

The multiple extant resolutions which already cover all this, for one.

I like the idea, but given all the plagiarism, and the fact that many of these duplicate existing legislation, I would not support this resolution. Rewrite it, make it more specific/original, and resubmit it. If you manage to iron out the kinks, I think this could be a very good proposal.
