E. Unless it is
a minor charge (or a misdemeanor), citizens have a right to a trial by
jury. Juries may determine a person's
guilt or innocence, and if a person is found guilty, the jury may determine the
sentence of the accused, as advised by the judge.
F.
Excessive
bail shall not be required of a person, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel
and unusual punishment inflicted.
10. What
consenting adults do in the privacy of their homes or bedrooms that does not
infringe on the property or the rights of others should not be the concern of
government. Thus, individuals have a right to privacy.
11. Citizens may
choose where they want to live. Citizens
may also visit any country they choose, including Cuba. If they choose to move to another country,
they will not be dispossessed of their personal assets by our government.
ARTICLE I: The Legislative
Branch of the Federal Government
Section I
All federal
legislative powers shall be granted to the Federal Congress of the United States,
which shall be a unicameral body consisting of Federal Representatives, also
called Federal Legislators. There will be 435 separate congressional districts
in the United States based on equal population.
The residents of Washington D.C. will now have representation in the
Federal Congress. Congress members will
be elected based on the system of Proportional Representation. The Congress
must pass bills with at least a 51% majority.
For several
years, many Americans had become alienated by
government leaders who did not respond to their real needs. A government that can change or adjust
quickly in an orderly fashion is better than a government that is too
cumbersome and slow to make improvements.
For these reasons, a unicameral legislature, based on a system of
Proportional Representation, is the best way to expose American voters to a wider spectrum of political
viewpoints, which the former two-party-system monopoly, under the second US Constitution,
prevented deliberately.
All Federal
Representatives of the United States Congress will be chosen for four-year periods that coincide with
presidential terms of office.
