If you are American, you had no say in ANY laws laid out. Nor if you were English, German, French or any other Representative democracy. You didn't vote on a single law. You want to try again?
What if I told you that your way of thinking is what hold society back? You would, of course, deny this. Safe to say you won't have to worry. Your love of nation states and division will more than likely bring about another world war.

You again claim you got a say in the laws? In a representative democracy? Funny I didn't know that they allowed citizens in to do their jobs. No wonder there isn't any integrity among elected officials.
The original laws laid out were done so years before you were born. Tell me again, how did you have any say so in those laws?
Why should I change your mind? Any decent human being would strive toward the betterment of the whole species. I've shown you where you are wrong with your selfish thinking. You just choose to adhere to an inherently selfish thought process and care not for others of your species.

So your government gets to determine rights?
Last time I checked your government is doing right now.
Thats kinda the point of a constitution......to safeguards rights.
The Constitution is to limit government infringing on rights.
We are all born with rights, the government, your government, would want to define and determine them.

We should be moving towards less centralisation, not more.
There is no purpose for a world govt other than for an ever decreasing number of people to gain control of the world.
Cultures around the world are different. Stop trying to make them the same. It has never and will never work.

A disaster that threatens all of humanity would be a good unifying force. Or the gradual implementation of a global constitution over a period of time would lessen the shock of change. We can do it as a species. Look at how interconnected the world already is today.
Nope.
The only way you'll ever have a one-world government is through force and the removal of individual freedoms, liberties, and ideologies.

99 percent you say?
Then why bother with the "world" govt.?
It's bad enough now with politicians being out of touch...how much worse would they be with this silliness?

As for your "gun rights" being a local decision...piffle. Either it's a right for all, everywhere, or it's not a right, at all. The right is, also, a right not to have. So if I live in one of your fanciful jurisdictions...do I have to move to practice my rights if that jurisdiction decided that guns are the "debil"? If so, how is it a right again, and not a privilege that can be taken away at a whim?

I don’t know the author, but will make a WAG they have never worked hard for what they have, whether basic security like food and shelter, or property, like a house, car, and clothing.

10) If a district fails due to corruption or mismanagement the federal government can remove that districts leaders
What happens if the federal government itself becomes corrupt then?
