Iceland's Citizens Are Writing Its New Constitution Online, Can The US Do It Too??

reply to post by ProphecyPhD


I'll humor you, OP - if this reply isn't 2 months late.

I would totally start by getting rid of the Patriot Act, the NAFTA agreement/law/whatever that allows NAFTA to exist, and I would repeal the federal ban of drugs. I think I would get rid of 70% of the stuff that was written on a federal level, and restore power to the states!

However, I think if you do restore most of the power back to the states, then maybe an idea like this could possibly work... maybe on like a county or district level. That would be a good way to get the communities to come back together to govern themselves.

S&F though, because it does seem really cool that Iceland was able to come together like that. Team work makes the dream work!

We need to go back to the Original Intent and Formation of.

I disagree. Times have changed and laws have been changed, repealed and stretched to fit agendas. We need to sit down and really take a look at our laws in general and come to a consensus. The average citizen doesn't even realize what is really illegal or legal and/or why. Why is this allowed but that is not? Example: Marijuana is illegal but cigarettes are not, WHY?? Taxes? The Federal Reserve? WHY?

Let's have a brigade of CITIZENS who police the police. The Freedom of Information Act can use some work too.

Agreed
Burn it all and start over, use the first as a guiding post towards the new...I want a constitution that fits in 10 easy points (which includes all amendments)...we can sum up the entire bill of rights in 1 single paragraph imo that not only protects all people, but should any aliens, dimensional entities, etc visit, they would be covered also...
