Putting peoples intellect to work
I ask people to read and modernize the concepts of our Constitution into one mass compilation of practical ideologies that allow for the basic
unalienable human right. Speech, voting, press, laws and equal justice, practice of religion and prevention of hate speech that takes away the
unalienable right of those invested into a true global Constitution by the people, for the people and from the people.
This collective look and redefinition of what a Constitution is and what is is supposed to do when challenges arise beyond its scope of definition
due to the passage of time, politics of the current generation and the generation about to take power. (always a battle for power and control of
concepts)
Give this new Constitution a 100 year look forward into human history.
We are the new founding fathers,brothers, mothers, and sisters of a new age of individual freedoms and enlightenment that take into scale the whole of
human history past to present and our possible future.
Current preamble
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution
for the United States of America
Example rewrite...... just and example don't get your constitution panties in a knot
We the sovereign people of the united states of America, In order to keep a civil Union,, re-establish the modern definitions of justice, tranquility
and provisions for a common defense that promotes the welfare of all voting citizen the basic rights of our founding fathers endeared to us during the
first constitutional congress of the united states of America.
The declaration of independence
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to
assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to
the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that
among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them
shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed
for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than
to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the
same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to
provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains
them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,
all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
How would we redefine this document with modern intellect that takes into account a very modern and every changeling world.
This is the fledgling document that changed a whole world. This opportunity is now in our generations hands. Though this may be considered folly by
those in power or those who chose never to weild power.
This is an attempt to move forward with redefining what America means by using our basic foundations as the leap forward into a philosophical and
political document that has the ability to jump3 or 4 generations before it needs to be redefined
I ask you the intellectuals to form groups or collectives to communicate ideas, thoughts and insights into our founding fathers legacy of freedom in
order to create a new legacy that does not forsake the ideas and concepts set down to parchment by our founding fathers who went to war to defend the
concepts of unalienable rights and freedoms.
What is the modern definition of tyranny? What was the founding fathers definition of tyranny?
The founding fathers did know about internet forums and instant gratification chat rooms that present ideas with out basis or collective merit. I ask
you the ATS intellects-- to present a New Preamble, a new Declaration or Independent thought that takes into account all freedoms for all people world
wide.
This is not for those who can not write, or read our history. It is for those who can see the whole founding fathers idea as collective of dozens of
previous generations woes and discontent with a political structure that was corrupt and decadent.
I do not believe our system is completely corrupt or decadent, but it is heading down a direction that does not promote all the ideas of our founding
fathers. It will be up to us the intellectual to redefine what government can and cannot do to our unalienable rights and and freedoms laid down by
the founding fathers.
