Hey guys! It’s ya boi Walter Wiggles comin at you with a brand new constitution. Don’t forget to like comment and subscribe. We’re doin a new constitution every week, so leave a comment and tell us what freedoms YOU want to see!

Housing should be affordable, and never sold as an investment

Every citizen has a right to food, water and adequate shelter.

Anything that makes you a captive market cannot be private or has to have a free public alternative.

Things like healthcare, transport, housing, water, energy, internet etc.

Equal rights.

🤔🤔🤔

Okay, so I have put a LOT of thought into this question, and after reading everyone else’s opinions on the matter, I thought I’d share mine. You guys have a lot of good ideas, some of which I didn’t think about before. I hope my ideas can inspire similar contemplation.

Okay, here goes:

---

IN THE NAME OF liberty, truth, justice, cupcakes, porn, and all that is good in this life, We The People of The Motherfucking Galactic Republic hereby establish and ordain this new Constitution, with blackjack and hookers.

Based on the millennia of suffering of ourselves and our ancestors, We The People hereby establish and remind the reader that ALL PEOPLE HAVE BASIC NATURAL RIGHTS that either the government or any organization of people cannot violate, or must enable and adhere to, respectively. We lay out this Constitution to provide a Framework from which the government, organizations and the people can sort out what and how that should be done, and what ways most benefit the people.

We also hereby establish in the name of harmony, justice, truth and goodness that along with RESPECTING AND ENABLING NATURAL RIGHTS, government, organizations and the people must also adhere to certain responsibilities to ensure the best and most positive outcome for the people and to protect the natural rights of everyone involved.

NATURAL RIGHTS

We the People hereby establish this list of Natural Rights we recognize from the start.

We first stress that this list is not exhaustive, and that Natural Rights are not limited to only the contents of the list. As the future plays out, the people will experience situations new to humanity and therefore the Natural Rights of which the people expect the government and organizations to enforce and protect will, by its nature, expand. New amendments to this list shall be done in accordance with the instructions of this here Constitution.

RIGHT #1: THE RIGHT TO HAVE ONE’S PHYSICAL NEEDS MET

The most basic of all Natural Rights is the right to have one’s physical needs met by the government and organizations. These rights include, but not limited to:

• The right to steady and fair access to nutritious and delicious food, and clean, safe, drinkable water.

• The right to a safe, clean, pestilence-free, and sturdy domicile that will comfortably meet a person’s need for shelter, food, water, electricity and homeostasis.

• The right to access to electricity, including but not limited to power generation for their shelter.

• The right to access and use all publicly available or published information that has ever been created up to this point and in the future.

• The right to access and use communications platforms, including but not limited to mail and any electronic communications systems developed before or since, especially Internet and interplanetary/interstellar communications systems.

• The right to clean, suitably fitting clothing that will meet the wearer’s need for protection from the external world and homeostasis.

• The right to clean, safe, fast and efficient transportation, on all scopes as described later in this Constitution.

No organization and no government can receive or require payment for the fulfillment of any of these aspects of the right to have one’s needs met.

RIGHT #2: THE RIGHT TO SAFETY

We The People assert that we live in an objective reality with a natural world filled not only with wonders, but with many dangers, and therefore the government and organizations are mandated to protect, enforce and safeguard the very real need the people have to maintain and protect themselves, each other, their communities, nation and species.

These rights include, but not limited to:

• The inalienable right to use lethal or non-lethal force in self-defense and defense of other people in life-threatening situations, whether those situations be immediate, or long-term such as domestic abuse, stalking or harassment.

• The right of all individuals to own weapons.

• The right to access and receive combat training, including in the use of weapons.

• The collective right to own ordnance for all communities.

• The collective right to form militias and militaries, and to give combat training access to all individuals in a community.

• The right to secure one’s domicile against all forms of attack, whether foreign or domestic

Weapons are defined as:

• any instrument or device for use in attack or defense in combat, fighting, or war, as a sword, rifle, drone or cannon, that can be held and operated by a single individual. Explosive devices equal to or less in power than a stick of TNT are also included.

Ordnance is defined as:

• any vehicle designed for military or combat use, including but not limited to tanks, ships, airplanes, or spaceships; large weapons that require more than one individual to operate; explosive devices more powerful than one stick of TNT; bioweapons; nuclear, relativistic (such as asteroids or missiles deliberately launched toward another) or antimatter weapons. Note that individuals are explicitly ALLOWED to have vehicles NOT designed for combat use as defined here. No government or organization can declare a clearly not combat-designed vehicle as one.

---

FOR THE safety, protection, provision, and betterment of the people of The Motherfucking Galactic Republic, the government is mandated to have and operate A SPACE PROGRAM, to be given no less than 10% of the federal government’s gross earnings (whether they be taxes, direct revenue, however the hypothetical government makes money).

This space program must do, bare minimum:

• Fund the exploration and colonization of the Solar System

• Construct O’Neill cylinders of minimum size 5 miles in diameter and 20 miles long

• Begin and operate mass production of antimatter

• Fund and operate scientific and research projects, including but not limited to construction and maintenance of space telescopes, to study the universe

• Begin and operate mining and resource extraction of all minor planets, asteroids, and comets in the Solar System. All heavenly bodies in the Solar System collectively belong to the people of The Motherfucking Galactic Republic and their contents must be fairly and evenly distributed to the people in accordance with this here Constitution Of Justice And Cookies.

---

And that’s as far as I’ve got. The Motherfucking Galactic Republic is obviously just a filler name; I don’t know if any of these ideas would ever be implemented but they could be used for any new nation, so…

This is a non-exhaustive list.

Healthy food, clean water, safety, clean air, top tier healthcare, communication, transportation, education, and housing are the basic rights which the state must ensure all of its people have.

No law or regulation shall compromise an individual’s privacy, including their digital privacy rights. Personalised ads are illegal.

Source code of software must be published no later than 3 years after the release of any software or system.

Patents expire after 4 years at the latest with no evergreening allowed. Lifesaving drugs can’t be patented.

Right to repair must be protected by the constitution. Schematics and replacement parts and board level components must be available for as long as the product is on the market + 10 years at BoM cost + logistics.

Non-commercial transformative works are protected.

The state must maintain, to the best of its ability, a top of the line rail network, with additional supplemental bus network as transitional period so that completely eliminates the need for personal automobiles in any town larger than 2000 residents.

No road in residential areas should allow higher than 30km/h driving speed, and 70km/h between cities. (To further encourage usage of public transit and cycling).

The state must maintain a top of the line high speed rail network that completely replaces the highway system, as well as completely replacing regional flights.

All public transit will be free to use, 100% funded by tax money.

Worker’s union, on top of the regular protections, has the ability to freeze assets and accounts of the company to force negotiations.

Construction code must minimise the carbon footprint of the project by reducing emissions (not just relying on carbon buybacks).

Any military action must be compliant with international laws, failure to comply will result in emergency re-elections.

Any elected official is not allowed to own stocks or options in any company. Any elected official must retire before the age of 65. No elected official can stay in the same position for longer than 8 years.

Healthcare is 100% funded by the state, no residents shall pay a single penny for their own medical treatment.

Organ donation is opt out, not opt in.

Maximum legal salary for corporate executives must never exceed 5x the lowest salary at that company, and no more than 5x of the median income of that country.

If 1% of residents in any given jurisdiction sign a petition to fire any police officer from that jurisdiction, a referendum will decide.

Any agent of the state who abuses their power for personal gain will be charged with abuse of power and possibly treason.

Education from kindergarten to university is fully funded by the state. Trade schools will also be funded. Students with special needs must be accommodated by the state to the best of its ability.

In order to declare a war, a referendum must be passed with a supermajority of the entire voting population. Children above the age of 15 should also be allowed to vote, since if you start a war, it is possible that it will lead to a draft that will force them into combat when they reach the age of adulthood.

The death penalty is not allowed no matter the severity of the crime.

For profit prisons are illegal, all incarceration centers are owned and operated by the state. inmates’ living conditions must be humane and allow them to maintain their safety, health, and dignity, with the primary goal is to rehabilitate convicts and reintegrate them back to society.

Whistleblower protection: anyone who comes to a possession of document, or any other evidence of wrong doing of the state, is allowed and encouraged to publish said evidence, and they will be constitutionally protected from any criminal charges, and against violence through a special agency.

Vehicles are taxed based on weight and emissions rating.

Any income higher than 500k per year (adjusted to inflation) gets a 95% tax (remember that this is a tax bracket, if you earn 600k, the first 500k will be taxed normally, and the extra 100k will be taxed at 95%). Deductable expenses for any item above $2000 must require more detailed documentation to include a description of how that item will be used.

Religious organizations must be taxed like any other for-profit organization.

All forests are protected and the state shall ensure its biodiversity is maintained and managed appropriately.

Coal is completely banned for energy production. Natural gas is taxed so heavily that only industries that absolutely must use it will. (To force the use of green energy solutions like nuclear, solar, and others…)

All publicly funded research publications must not have any paywall or DRM.

All income over $10m per year is taxed at 100%. Foreign and domestic put together.

Okay, I’ll start with a basic one. Equal rights for everyone, regardless of beliefs, physical traits, emotional traits, sexuality or financial situation - will probably need amendments since it’s hard to come up with every possible circumstance.

All software that’s paid for by taxpayers must be open-source, or at least source-visible. I know some European countries are heading this direction (or may already enforce this) which is great.

Actually, let’s do that for everything that’s funded by taxpayers. If I’m paying for something through taxes, I should be able to see more detailed information about where the money is going and the output of it.

Just the seven tenets of the Satanic Temple:

I empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

V Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word. Crest image by Luciana Nedelea.

The entire body of the state, be it executive, legislative, or judiciary should have a youth quota.

Like say at least 60% of members must be 40 or under.

People over 50 are fundamentally incapable of comprehending the modern world and because they won’t have to live in the world they are building – They are more than willing to sacrifice us all to guarantee their own.

Full disenfranchisement of the old would be reckless, but a quota? Yea.

Note: I used Community of Earth in case we discover other species, but I’d suggest changing the name according to the interplanetary travel and expeditions

I’m not an expert, but I propose the following:

And i don’t know, I’m a Free Software advocate so that too has to be considered. Any way, I have more ideas, but not the time

“Don’t be a dick.”

Political parties are outlawed. Every MP should represent their own view, not tow a party line dreamt up by a PR agency.

Your vote affects others (like driving, owning a gun etc put others at risk). To vote you must pass a test; to pass the test we offer free education. To enable you to attend this education, we offer you a universal basic income. The test must not discriminate based on gender, age, sexual orientation, income etc etc.

The wealthiest 10% of people must donate at least 5% of their yearly earnings to a general fund for public welfare, including free food, shelter and medical aid. Business assets domestic and international are included in this calculation. Anyone who attempts to hide assets to avoid donating, even within the confines of the law, can be tried for the manslaughter of everyone who died from poverty that fiscal year.

Essentially, if you have the financial means to help people, you are legally required to.

The voting system will be the Tideman method
