Yup, worst part was the "Reject unearned authority" part, it really sums up my life pretty well.

Speaking of summing things up

I have tried so hard to sum up Homestuck in less than a thousand pages but it's actually impossible because it's timelines look more like a goddamned subway-map than anything else.

Oelesa wrote:Jas has my vote!

I've been thinking about it, and I think that under Unf's constitution you receive as many votes for Supreme Court Justice as there are office vacancies. So, if there are three openings, you get three votes (as long as you vote for a different person with each of them).

That's the only way I can think of it working properly. If you only get one vote when there are three vacancies, four people could run but one person could technically get all the votes and we'd still be left with two vacancies at the end of the election.

[I]Because we deserve the very best for our Confederacy[/I]

Germany is going to have a vote on gay marriage after the summer. Merkel's junior partners in her coalition government added it to the agenda before parliament went into recess. Merkel herself has had a change of heart over the issue as she initially opposed gay marriage for the sake of the "wellbeing of children." But she visited a lesbian couple in her constituency who care for 8 foster kids. So she thought, if they can lovingly care for this many kids, then surely they can get married.

Merkel will allow her MPs a free vote on the matter so they can vote according to the conscience. But it looks like Germany will soon have equal marriage rights after the summer since only 2 parties in the whole country oppose it, and one of them is Merkel's, but as I said, some of her MPs might vote in favour. :)

Wunderbar!

I wouldn't call it 'pseudoscience', but I don't think it's wholly scientific either. It's an interesting way to measure yourself and to discuss personality with friends, but in terms of scientific accuracy, there are other tests that are preferred.

One, hashtags are cool and memorable

Two, my election campaign will consist solely of my public reputation. I wanna see if, on job alone, I can win a "third" term (or first, since both new constitutions use Chancellor instead of President). But I may just release a speech or two for dramatic effect.

This constitutional referendum is, to me, 1) About the future of the Confederacy, and 2) My future as a legislator. If I don't win this for this region, it will feel like I have failed us all, and that never feels good.

Duck: I just found out that Michael Bond, author of the Paddington Bear stories, died yesterday at the age 91. On behalf of myself and the State of Percyton, I extend my sincerest condolences to Michael Bond's family and friends. Paddington Bear is one of the most beloved characters in British literature, and British culture in general. And considering I once worked at the same Paddington railway station that Paddington Bear was named for, I must admit that that has caused me to be partial to the character. Mr. Bond will be sorely missed, but I hope that the characters he created will live on forever in the fabric of British culture.

A Public Appeal for Support:

[I]Hello, everyone. If you don't already know, my name is Vista Major, and I'm the President of the Confederacy, at least for another week or so. I'm here to plead my case for why you all should vote for my constitution in this referendum.

I've no doubt that many of you have received telegrams from me in the past asking for your input and support. Know that I meant every word of what I said in those telegrams: I believe wholeheartedly that this constitution, with your backing, can be what this region needs to bring life anew. I know without a single doubt on my mind that I would be nothing if you all did not put your faith into this region. Not just me, but this Confederacy of Free Nations which we call home and community. I do not lie when I say that I am throwing all the effort I can into making sure that my constitution passes this referendum. This is a proposal that I've been tirelessly working on for many months, pruning and adding and subtracting, much of it with y'all's support.

Know that this constitution that I have written isn't just mines; it's ours. We all put our thoughts into this project to make it our own. I could not have done this without y'all.

Granted, my constitution is not perfect. Though I can say with certainty that it's a heck of a lot better than the constitution we have now. And I daresay that it has a good edge over Unf's. I do not mean at all to belittle Unfallious. His dedication to this region stretches as far back as to the original NGA, and we should all thank him for sticking around, despite all the trials (literally) that we tossed his way. Though, despite the chance to make something grander, Unf's constitution is more or less but a revived remnant of the past. We have here an opportunity for something new, something fresh, something truly unique. This constitution that I have written with y'all's support is a masterpiece of legislation and cooperation. Notice how this constitution enshrines all that we believe in, while incorporating more for our own new and exciting visions for the future.

This constitution gives us the best opportunity to give a greater structure to the Confederacy, and a tighter bond among us. If I lose, I shall do so with the grace of all the losses I have had before this. But, please, allow me--nay, allow US--this victory. Make the Confederacy everything you want it to be and more. We deserve nothing less.

In Defence of the Claim That Unf's Constitutional Proposal Only Repeats What's Been Done Before

Throughout this ongoing debate over which constitutional proposal our region should choose so as to form a renewed Second Confederacy, I have focused on being positive rather than negative. This is to say, I have discussed what I like about the proposal I am supporting rather than saying what I dislike about the proposal I am not. Vista's most recent claim that Unf's constitutional proposal "is more or less but a revived remnant of the past" offers me the opportunity to mention those positive reforms included in Unf's proposal.

[spoiler=A Solid Election Cycle from the 1st to the 4th of Every Second Month]

Anyone who has been with us for more than one electoral term knows that elections are often a little chaotic for this region. Many do not know when one administration ends and another begin, and this more often than not leads to a situation where administrations overshoot their elected term as elections are unintentionally delayed. By dictating the dates when an election is to be held, rather than saying they will take place in x amount of days or months, even newcomers to the region will know precisely when the next election will be held. Sure, this 1st to 4th structure was included in the constitution of the CFN, but it was rarely held to. This is an opportunity to bring some much needed structure to our electoral process.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=A Constitutionally-Enshrined Constabulary]

Those individuals who wield power within our region- be they our chief executive, ministers, Speaker, or judiciary- are subject to constitutional limitations of what their offices' jurisdiction is. Constitutions are the highest form of law and, therefore, the limitations they impose on an office are as concrete as they come. So why shouldn't the Constabulary, the very people responsible for investigating crimes and upholding law and order, not also be recognized and defined within the constitution? Unf's choice to include these officers in his proposal was, in my opinion, a very good one.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=A Court of Elected Judges]

Previously, we have dabbled with differing degrees of an appointed, semi-elected, and elected Chief Justice who has then appointed the remainder of the court. Unf's proposal dictates that our Supreme Court will consist of three elected judges. This allows the citizenry the opportunity to choose their adjudicators democratically. This ensures that it is those who they trust in terms of knowledge and fairness who will represent the entirety of the judiciary.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=A Court of Equals]

Unf's proposal does away with the office of Chief Justice and any of its equivalents by having all three elected justices equal in stature. This removes the needless hierarchy that existed within the judiciary, especially when a secondary office such as Executive Justice existed that relegated the third supreme court justice to the lowest position on the totem pole. This will encourage candidates for the office of Supreme Court Justice to cooperate with those fellow candidates they deem to also be worth of office rather than to be consistently in competition with one another.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=A Multifaceted Approach to Initiating a Referendum]

Under Unf's proposal, referendums can be initiated by either the endorsement of 5 citizens, the approval of 4 out of the 5 Ministers, or at the behest of the President. We know that referendums are always participated in to a much higher degree than legislation on the forums, so this measure allows the citizenry, the Cabinet, and/or the chief executive to bring particularly important or contentious legislation to be voted on by a larger proportion of our region. I call this a win for democracy.[/spoiler]

What I don't like about Vista's Constitution is that it implements residency again. That may sound nice for everyone but we had situation before where people just joined to troll and annoy everyone. They insulted and made snarky comments. Under Vista's constitution those people have the right to free speech but also must obey the code of communication. Unless someone trials that person they can do as they please. And starting a trial is a lengthy process which tbh often takes place days or weeks after the incident.

I think everyone here agrees with me that trolls aren't nice and trolls don't want to be nice. They like to annoy people. By giving them the same protection like everyone else we make it harder for ourselves to keep those people out of our community.

And since there is no constabulary established with Vista's constitution we have no one who would prosecute them.

We had this case before where a troll was kicked, came back tried to trial the official who kicked him because he said it was unlawful.

Do we really want to make it easier for trolls to stir up our community by giving them the right to trial everyone when steps are taken against them ?

Please consider my words.

Thanks. :)

I wholly disagree with this; Peng, the whole point of a democracy and freedom of Speech is to allow and promote criticism, it's not up to the critic to not give harsh criticism, its up to those that are being critiqued to take it well :D

I believe that we, within certain reasonable limits, should treat every nation the same, while catering to their interests and wishes. Which is why I keep the Resident/Citizen distinction, and why I maintain the right to a trial. However, trolls do not get a free pass, because they threaten our Confederacy, and my Constitution allows the Supreme Justice to deal with them on sight. No longer will they hold our law hostage if they refuse to cooperate.

Another point is that the Constabulary, though admittedly not given an official name, is built into both the judiciary and the Ministry of Justice, as they have law enforcement/Constabulary power, as well as the power to appoint staff, which can be made Constables. By leaving 5his particular aspect more free, the Constabulary can be given more reign to do what they need to do whenever the need arises. We have the opportunity more more specialized Constables, even, if we desire.

I do acknowledge these changes, and, honestly, I thank God that some things were changed. I suppose that I should say what I told Andromitus on Discord (office-of-the-president channel):

"My claim that Unf's constitution was "more or less". I was referring to the point that Unf described it as a "port" of the CFN Constitution with some edits, but I didn't cite it."

I was worried about that, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't still a little weary of it. But it's not a bad proposal by any means, and I don't want it to seem like I was trashing you two's work. The last time I did that, I learned a lesson.

Mk, I have a few things to add in defense of Vista's constitution. As a good few people have mentioned, the cabinet should not be the body that has a veto power. B, while getting rid of the Chief Justice position for a court of equal judges sounds great, this can go wrong. The CJ not only allows for organization and a more straight flow of thoughts, it allows for one elected person who mind you, is subject to a vote of confidence of which would remove him/her if need be, can be elected by the people and then save more electoral time. Also, I feel you're over-exaggerating the electoral issue. Finally, I feel that Vista's gives a more streamlined balance of power, as well as giving Parliament more power than Unf's. Plus, Vista's includes a nice bill to rights section.

Also, because I forgot this in my main post; I really love how Vista's just lets the justices be the Constabulary. I always found appointing people to regional power status for the purpose of being essentially police officers. I feel this system is more trustworthy.

The way I see around this is making a law that defines that harassment that is severe enough to trigger a rights violation shall trigger the constabulary to ban them for a period of time to have a judicial hearing on it, and once they rule either keep the ban or revoke it.

Yes. Which is 1000% the reason why police officers, prosecutors, and judges are separate offices in real life.

One investigates, one determines if the investigation has merit to be brought before the court, and the other determines if the argument before the court requires legal repercussions.

Which is why the Constabulary should be clearly defined and limited within the constitution. So that the prosecutor and/or judges cannot extend their authority beyond their fair share of reasonable power.
