BILL OF RIGHTS
Humanity is endowed, by nature, with rights which cannot be removed by any authority, be they local, state, or government; furthermore, mankind, being without the bonds of higher authority, would possess an unlimited capacity for action; therefore the rights included in the following bill of rights are not the full extent of human rights, therefore the following enumeration is solely to provide citation for ordinary appeal to law.
1st Right
All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their equal protection and benefit, and they have the right to alter, reform, or abolish the same, whenever they may deem it necessary; and no special privileges or immunities shall ever be granted, that may not be altered, revoked, or repealed by the Council of Junkers.
2nd Right
The right of the people to mobilize publically to make their opinions and positions known shall not be infringed, unless their mobilization explicitly puts the safety or security of the community at risk.
The freedom of association for any lawful purpose shall not be infringed, and no person shall be compelled to associate nor disassociate in any way by another person or entity. No citizen shall be denied the right to equal participation in the governance of their constituency, thus all citizens shall equally retain the right to vote in elections, convictions for any crime or economic condition and ability notwithstanding.
All people shall be considered equal before the law and no person may have their rights infringed due to personal circumstances, compulsions, or preferences (unless those compulsions and preferences explicitly infringe upon the rights of others), or their self-identity.
3rd Right
The right of the people to possess the means to defend themselves shall be protected.
4th Right
No corporal punishment may be imposed upon any person suspected of or convicted of a crime.
5th Right
No person may find themselves, due to poverty and/or personal circumstances, the property of another; nor shall any form of uncompensated or coerced labor be tolerated.
6th Right
All shall have a natural and indefeasible right to worship according to the dictates of their own conscience. No person shall be compelled to attend, erect, or support any place of worship, or maintain any form of worship, against their consent; and no preference shall be given, by law, to any religious society, organization, or doctrine; nor shall any interference with the rights of conscience be permitted.
No religious test shall be required, as a qualification for office, nor shall any person be incompetent to be a witness on account of their religious belief; but nothing herein shall be construed to dispense with oaths and affirmations.
Morality and knowledge being essential to good governance, it shall be the duty of the Government to pass suitable laws to protect every religious denomination and creed in the peaceable enjoyment of its own mode of public or private worship, unless the doctrine of any denomination or creed should explicitly condone and/or incite evidential actions in their followers which are contrary to the freedoms expressed in the law.
7th Right
The right of the people to speak and write shall not be infringed by the government, unless that right is used to explicitly demand and intentionally incite violence within the Empire.
8th Right
In all criminal prosecutions, the following rights shall be enjoyed by all residents of the Empire, no exceptions, the right to a speedy and public trial, to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, to have right to the contradictory and broad defense.
No person shall be subject, except in case of impeachment, to more than one trial, or one punishment for the same offense, nor shall be compelled in any criminal case, to be a witness against themselves, nor be deprived of liberty or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.
9th Right
This enumeration of rights shall not be construed to impair or deny others retained by the people; and all powers not herein delegated, remain with the people.
