A New Constitution, Part 1
I follow politics and often get frustrated at rules and decisions that go against my personal values. Instead of ranting, I thought it might be more enjoyable and constructive to design a new constitution that would address many of my grievances.
Here is a list of the topics that I will cover in this series:
- Objectives and Philosophy
- The role of Government
- Personal responsibility
- Taxation
- Charity
- Welfare
- Military
- Natural Resources
- Disasters
- Religion
- Crime
- Foreign Policy
- Education
- Healthcare
- Insurance
- Law
- Citizenship
- Intellectual Property and Patents
- Abortion
- Right to Die
- Marriage
- Banking
- Transportation
- Environment
- Prostitution
- Drugs
- Animal Rights
If there are any important topics that I've left out, please let me know.
Part 2 of this series is here.

Hi Patrick,
What do you mean by "children"? Any particular aspect, such as age of legal responsibility, labor laws, age of consent?
Cheers,
Graham

I would add: Industry (private sector) and (of course, given that this is my world!...): Research After all these two areas (should) drive our world, no?

Interesting topic. I suggest looking at the constitution for South Africa. I think they have the most admirable constitution in the world today.

Graham,
Incidentally, have you become a U.S. Citizen, are you British, or do you hold joint citizenship?
