 Participation?

It is not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work -- work with us, not over us; stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it. ---Ronald Reagan

Article III: The National Government

The man who has no imagination has no wings.---Muhammad Ali Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth - It always protects - always trusts - always hopes - always preservers - 1st Corinthians 13:7

The national government is made up of ten regions equal in population first priority and area second priority.  Should be democracy begin in nations with small populations a few as 3 regions may be used. If there are fewer than 10 regions each time a region becomes great then 10 million in population the regions must be re-divided up with a new region created up until 10 regions exist. Therefore the regional boundaries will alter with the national census as well as the incorporation of merging and/or acquired nations. Regional boundaries cannot cut through counties.  Regional Government Funding is limited to: Higher Education, Regional Department of Education, Infrastructure: Energy (Power Plants), Water (Irrigation, Dams, Aqueducts), Travel (Ports, Airports, Freeways), Currency, Regional Bureau of Investigation and Natural Disasters. National Government funding is limited to the National Bureau of Investigation, Global Reserve Board and War Funding as outlined through this document, any further regional or national institutions not mentioned in this document will require an amendment from the constitution. Any and all regional and national institutions, departments and or agencies, except those under the umbrella of law enforcement including but not limited to the NBI and the RBI, may be privatized through national mandate laws.

Section A: The Responsibilities of the Regional Ambassadors

The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent, experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it, if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. ---Teddy Roosevelt

On the last Tuesday of February every two years the Regional Ambassador is required to make a public speak to the region stating his accomplishments and concerns in the regional government. The Governor may not refute any of the Regional Ambassador’s claims until after the mayoral vote. The Regional Ambassador does not require a budget to be placed on the ballot, however, on the first Tuesday in march during public election years and by their own expense, all the mayors of the region are required to meet in a private closed door session to discuss the regional ambassador and then hand out an anonymous evaluation and questionnaire.   The Regional Ambassador needs to receive a score from the mayors in their political party segments of the same percentage or greater from each of the political parties in the same percentage or greater that voted against the governor in the last gubernatorial election order to avoid to run for reelection to serve another two-year term in office. If the Regional Ambassador does not achieve this, but is able to maintain a score of less than 15 percentage points below this amount, but not to be greater than 70% for each of the individual parties that to serve another term the current regional ambassador must run and win national election. Qualifying parties must be at least 5% of the voting public with at least twenty representative mayors.  Mayors from unqualified parties may vote with a party of their choosing.  A score of less than that from the mayors political parties other than governor’s political party the regional ambassador may not run for reelection unless the Regional Ambassador has successfully convicted the Regional Governor or Regional Attorney General of a felony.  If the governor is registered as an independent or a party with less than 20% of the vote the governors political party will be considered among the qualifying political parties with the greatest support for the governor on election day. The Governors and Mayors may not change political parties a month before the primaries till after the general election. If the governor or mayor should decide to change to a different political party it will not take effect until voted in through the primary elections. The Regional Ambassador may only go six-years without having to be reelected through public vote. No term limits may be set on the Regional Ambassador, however, if the Regional Ambassador is forced into public election more than three times in a row, on the third time the Regional Ambassador will lose his position at the end of the term and may not run for the Regional Ambassador position again for four years, and then only if there is a public election for the Regional Ambassador. The vote will remain anonymous unless the Regional Ambassador is removed from office due to a rejection vote from the mayors of the region.  In the event of a mayoral rejection of the Regional Ambassador the mayoral Candidates that voted against the Regional Ambassador must have a town hall meeting within each of their cities to justify their vote.   One week following the mayoral vote the Regional Ambassador will give a public televised speech to public to justify his behavior.  Candidates for the regional ambassador position may not be endorsed or funded by either of the two primary political parties that make up that region.

1. Internal Bureau of Investigation

First of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.---FDR

1. Regional Budget

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.---Martin Luther King Jr.

An unemployment rate for the region will be determined annually.   Each of the cities is required by this constitution to have a surplus, of that surplus exists the entire budget for regional government.  The maximum amount that the regional government can lay claim to will be as follows:

Maximum % of annual leftover surplus Regional government can claim

=

Unemployment Percentage (4) + 1% regional principle for each unemployment % above 16%.

Funds are due to the Regional Government on the end of each annual quarter.  The unemployment figures are to be compiled quarterly as well in preparation for this.

Annual County Savings = (Annual Surplus Achieved – Annual Surplus Achieved (% allotted for Regional Taxation))

County Principle = Net County Savings achieved through previous years in office + Annual County Savings

Regional Principle = Total County Principle from all counties in the region

The ballot for regional governor will state the budget cost as well as the percentage of the maximum amount the regional government will need to pay for the candidate's budget. Any governor that wins reelect may retain all funds unused funds from his previous budget in his current and possibly later budgets. New elected governors may not retain any funds from the previous governor's budget.  The governor retains the flexibility in paying for public expenses as the local mayors, however, the governor's budget like that of the local mayor's may not create new programs only pay for those currently existing.  The mayors throughout the region through the regional ambassador are responsible for enforcement.  The budget for governor is accountable for the following list of responsibilities:

Two hundred years from that point the number of judges need will again increase by one, each time the number of years doubling until the Regional Courts will be totally dissolved.  Laws concerning mayors laid out in this constitution and by due process of law will be handed down to the local courts.  Laws concerning Presidents will be dealt with through the Planetary Council of Presidents as well as the local mayors through majority vote and the smaller courts respectively.

3. Accountability among Regional Judges

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.---Galileo Galilei

Any mayor may submit a vote to the mayors of his region to declare a regional judge's decision was outside of his jurisdiction.  A majority vote by the mayors withhold judgment until the Regional Ambassador has had an opportunity to pursue action against the verdict.  The Regional Ambassador may issue a request to the mayors within the region to impeach the judge. Impeaching a Regional Judge will require a 3/5s vote of support from the mayors within that region. Mayoral votes on this matter must take place in a town hall meeting on a uniform date established by the Regional Ambassador not to be publicly announced less than two weeks before the vote. The public will be allowed to address the mayor prior to him rendering his vote. Regional Jurisdiction is limited to law as outlined by this Constitution and by Powers of Authority as granted by public vote. The National Court may render any Regional Courts decision null and void by declaring it outside the jurisdiction of the Regional Court. 

Section D: Mints and Currency

Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems.---Rene Descartes

Each region may contain one and only one mint, unless it is out sourced to an adjoining region.  If the two mints are placed in the same region because of the merger of Nations and other reasons the governor must decide which mint to keep and which to disband.  Merging nations will be allowed to keep their mint as long as all standards under the Commission of Uniform Standards has been met.  Any other mints as a part of that region will be disbanded, unless the mint was apart of another recently merged nation in that the merger was less than 20 years past.  The city with the largest population in the region at the time the democracy is formed will contain the first mint for the production and circulation of paper and coin currency, unless a current functional mint has already been established. Each Region will be responsible for financially maintaining the circulation process. Nations joining the Commission of Uniform Standards may maintain their own mint requiring they have met the regulations of the Commission of Uniform Standards and passed by a majority vote of the all sitting members of the Uniform Accounting Standards.  If no mint exists in the newly formed region(s) of a merging nation the new region(s) may opt to out source this process to the approved mint of their choice or by the lowest bidder, until such a time that a new mint can be built or incorporated into the region.   Costs maintained by the banking establishment. However, the Construction of a Mint must meet all guide lines and requirements of banking establishment, however costs will be paid by the regional government.

Section E: The Responsibilities of the President

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.---Arthur Schopenhauer

The regional governor that wins office with the greatest majority vote in his or her region will be given the title of president.   The President is given the power to serve one and only one 4-year term in office.  The President will receive a normal salary as governor, plus a Presidential salary paid by national taxation equal to that plus 10%. While in office the president is given the power to: Allocate nature disaster funds, appoint the chairman of the Global Reserve, appoint the head of the national office of the Commissions, while the Commissions membership is solely within the host nation, as well as approve national projects.    Should the Commissions consist of one incorporated foreign partner each President or foreign power executive counterpart may nominate one candidate for the national office of the Commissions.  At this point the Commissions may select the nominee of their choice through a simple majority vote.  A new vote will be taken each time a new President, local or foreign, is elected or a new foreign nation is incorporated into the Commissions and then only by at the request of the foreign nation or newly elected President or foreign nation equivalent.

The president may charge a national income tax of up to one percent to provide for the following departments: National Court, Department of Education and Multinational Criminal Investigation, Department Civilian Regional, Commissions Building and utility expenses and improvements. National Taxes my not be used to fund the Presidents regional agenda or governor duties. National Projects require a presidential signature along with a majority vote of governors and by design are to come out of the independent regional budgets in equal percentages.  Eminent Domain is the right of the governor only and then only in cases of regional and national projects and even then it will require the approval of the County Council' in which the regional project will affect. Such votes will be done publicly with adequate time for a town hall meeting. Each regional governor will be in charge of the in project where it exists within their borders, each governor may privatized or out sourced by the laws set up for that region. When outside of all borders, such as space the president will be in charge, but must present a detailed plan to the regional governors and agreed by their majority vote. 

Section F: The Responsibilities of the High Court

The legislative and judicial powers are completely subordinated to the executive; the division of powers, the sovereignty of the States, the liberty of the common councils, and the rights of the citizens exist only in writing in our great charter; but, as a fact, it may almost be said that martial law constantly exists in Mexico; the administration of justice, instead of imparting protection to the weak, merely serves to legalize the plunderings committed by the strong; the judges instead of being the representatives of justice, are the agents of the executive, whose interests they faithfully serve; the chambers of the union have no other will than that of the dictator; the governors of the States are designated by him and they in their turn designate and impose in like manner the municipal authorities.---Francisco Madero

The duties and responsibilities listed below are the right of the High Court and only the High Court.  If a judge at the city or county level sights any decision clearly against the writings of this document, that judge shall be removed from their bench and shall never be permitted to be a judge in public court again, but the verdict for that case shall stand, but this verdict will not set precedence for further cases.  The judges, both of the High and inferior courts, will hold their offices during good behavior, and will, as stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.  The judicial power will extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority; to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls; to controversies to which this government shall be a party; to controversies between two or more counties; between a county and citizens of another county; between citizens of different counties, and between a county, or the citizens thereof, and foreign counties, (citizens or subjects). (Judicial Branch, US Constitution (Article III (Section 1 (1), Section 2)))

Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.---Ronald Reagan

 The High court is made up of thirteen judges, consisting of one judge from region and three national judges. High Court Regional Judge Replacement: The Ten Regional Judges in each Region with the highest scores on the Constitution Law exam who were also sponsors of Powers of Authority or Amendments to the Constitution that passed through with a national public vote will be candidates for the High Court Justice from that region. Each judicial candidate will be questioned publicly be the RBI and IBI for that region. The regional judges in that region will then cast an anonymous vote for a high court judge. The first will be with ten candidates, then five and finally two, or until a candidate wins with a majority vote. High Court Regional Judge Replacement: Fifteen National Judges with the highest scores on the Constitution Law exam who were also sponsors of Powers of Authority or Amendments to the Constitution that passed through with a national public vote will be candidates for the High Court Justice. Each judicial candidate will be questioned publicly be the RBI and EBI for that region. The first will be with fifteen candidates, then top five and finally top two, or until a candidate wins with a majority vote. Candidates for High Court Judges may only be Independent Class Citizens.  Transparent Class Citizens will not be allowed. Sponsors will be allowed to take all three Constitutional Law Exams. These exams may be taken individually at different times.  Candidates with the highest percentage score will be given precedence for replacement positions.  Should replacements tie with the same score the eldest person will be given precedence.

2. Regional Enforcement of National Jurisdiction

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.---Sir Winston Churchill

Should the National Court cease to act under the will of this constitution, and instead act under their own will and opinion the Court itself maybe brought to trial.  To do this, the sitting President must resign from public office no less than two years prior to the end of his term in office and may never serve in any public occupation in any level or branch of the government. Also none of the president's chosen successors will replace his position, but instead the closes opponent in the previous presidential race against him will become the acting President.    The fourth successor to the new president holding office will act as the judge over the trial of the National Court.   The trial will have a jury of 24: 12 jurors and 12 alternates.  The 24-member jury will be the 24 mayors who won by the largest percentages in their county.   They may appoint a temporary successor while they attend the trial. The trial will be televised (or whatever the main source of media is at that time.)   The trial is to begin no less than two weeks after the resignation of the prior President.  A majority vote by the jury is needed to convict, and a new trial will began for sentencing.   If the jury is tied, the judges will not receive punishment, but will be barred from the courtroom for the remaining portion of their lifetimes. 

3. County Enforcement of National Jurisdiction

Ten thousand fools proclaim themselves into obscurity, while one wise man forgets himself into immortality.---Martin Luther King Jr.

Any mayor may submit a vote to the mayors of his region to declare a National Court judge's decision was outside of his jurisdiction. If passed by a majority of the mayors in that region it will be sent to all the mayors within the nation. A majority vote by the mayors will declare the judges decision null and void.  An 85% majority will disbar the judge indefinitely. Mayoral votes on this matter must take place in a town hall meeting on a uniform date established by the Regional Ambassador not to be publicly announced less than two weeks before the vote. The public will be allowed to address the mayor prior to him rendering his vote.

Section G: The Responsibilities of the Regional Department of Education

Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.---Plato

 The Department of Education is responsible for setting the Educational Standards for all grades prior to Trade Schools or College. Members will have one term not to exceeding one-year increments.   For Standards to become law they must be passed by 2/3 rds of the County Council. The vote must be held at a public town hall meetings within the individual counties with ample notification given to the public as to a convenient time and location. Standards must reflect the economic needs of the age as determined by the Global Reserve.  The Global Reserve must be given compensation as determined by law so that the most reliable form of these estimates may be compiled.  Information and training must be made available in real time so that the Department of Education has the most accurate information possible.  The Department may not post mandatory classes, reading material, or educational products of any kind as this right remains in the hands of the individual county governments, however, the Department of Education may post recommendations for all educational activities which counties may choose to incorporate into law.  The Department must examine and discuss all educational ideas sent in writing to the Regional Educational Advisors Office.  Anyone has the right to send in his or her idea, unless it is in relation to some form of criminal activity as determined by law. Classroom and educational product safety standards remain the right of the Commissions. The top thirty-two teachers, grades who show the most improvement in their students both academically and as determined through juvenile delinquency rates, plus the top five principles from the top five schools where students are showing the greatest amount of improvement will be selected to run the Department of Education for a one year time frame. Principles found that manipulate the transfer of old teachers and then the transfer of good teachers for the purposes of obtaining this position will be subject to criminal prosecution. Teachers selected must incorporate both private and public schools regardless of religious affiliation.   They should receive a compensation of at least one and a half times their average salary through the region. These individuals may choose up to five college professors to assist in their research. Two of the five must come from fields of study from economic needs determined by the Global Reserve. Standards given must reflect a global need, rather than, the isolated needs of the locations of the teachers and principles awarded the position.  Teachers with a 10% or less improvement rate,of the national average, for a period of three years concurrently will be dismissed for no less than a ten-year period, unless working for the private sector, however, parents of these students must still be notified during enrollment of the teachers status as such.  Algebra must be completed before any student may enter High School or the equivalent of the present age. 

1. Educational Diversity

It is in justice that the ordering of society is centered.---Aristotle

Academic freedom is guaranteed.  Freedom of thought and conscience shall not be violated.  As a means toward privatization religious institutions may be used for educational purposes as long as the secular is also offered, but educational proposals will not be allowed a national mandate provision, educational national constitution projects, however, will be granted.  While education in the public sector may not endorse any religious faith, in an effort of knowledge and accuracy the public sector for historical reasons must not deny the public the education of historical events of religious faiths, the effects on the society in time period as well as there effects today. Japanese Constitution (Article 19, 22 & 23))

Thoughts

Since a politician never believes what he says, he is quite surprised to be taken at his word.---Charles De Gaulle

Five year grace from national standards only (All local county standards still apply). Dismissal Period may be set by the county within a written proposal.  Algebra - County law through the vote may push this up. Standards apply to public education only, but private education at their request must be allowed to use the same testing as the public standards.  Private institutions may, however, use any form of testing they see fit.  It remains the right of the state public universities what testing will or will not be approved.  If the state universities deny approval of specific testing procedures the Commissions may still approve it

1. Tampering of Evidence

It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.---Mahatma Gandhi

The penalties for Tampering with evidence will default to the penalty that is most sever between county, region and national law within the court where the verdict is given.
