In Magestirium, September 11th 2008;

We the many nations of The Confederated East Pacific, a region of Free individuals, believe wholeheartedly that certain inalienable rights, granted by Providence must be upheld in order to ensure that no people are infringed upon do hereby propose these rights in the form of The Confederated East Pacific Bill of Rights.

(Made that bit easier to read/non-capitalized in places where it shouldn’t be.)

I propose the fifth section of article 1 be amended from its current form. As it stands, it prevents anyone of us from being a member of another region in any level of standing, and would prevent our region from having anyone who had a nation which was a founder of another region.

not bad.

Citizens should also have a right to a barrister/a right to defend themselves if accused and have all available evidence accessible to them.

Also the region shouldn’t pass any ex post facto laws or bills of attainder :ph43r:

The spelling of “Magisterium” and related words is all over the place, might want to ensure the spelling is consistent. Although where it doesn’t refer to the legislative body (e.g. in the preamble) I’d rather the word be replaced with “government”.

under-stood, it was late when I wrote it so I figured I han that word messed up a bit.
