Our+Government

= __The Government of The Cornucopia: A Direct Democracy__ = = =

Our government is based upon modern ideals and customs for we have realized from our experience as once American citizens that having a government based upon a Declaration and Constitution written centuries ago is not too fitting for a modern day society. We were also dissatisfied with the way Representative Democracies operate. How is one person supposed to speak for every person in the population's ideas. Some had to make sacrifices when voting. for example, a former United States' citizen commented how during the years 2009- 2010, she was caught between voting for Democrats for the abortion rights they offered and the Republicans for they did not have health care reform. That is why we believe people should be able to have a part in the government by voting for an idea they have instead of a person to represent ideas for them. Should people not be able to think for themselves? We have trust in our citizens to make good choices for we only allow people with firm educations and no crime history to vote. We do not want people who break the laws to vote for laws for that is very ironic. And this way, people do not have to be dependent on politicians to run the government for them. This democracy will allow the **people** to make decisions instead of one **person**.

Although we do not divide our people into rich or poor, especially since the people are of a similar socioeconomic status to guarantee equal rights without the bias of people having different salaries, many outsiders believe that we have a plutocracy, a society ruled by a government of the wealthy. This generalization is spurred by the fact that all people meet the financial requirements (see list of rules) in our society to ensure that they will not fall into poverty or live poorly and uncomfortably. People interpret them as rich and since we have a direct democracy and the people rule, people interpret this as the rich people ruling although it is actually just the people.

Because from time to time changes occur in the global environment occur, we allow or people to propose new laws every six months to guarantee that our government keeps up with the times. Laws should not be set in stone because for all we know an environmental crisis could occur and after 6 months of failure with the old laws, we could use new laws. Our goal is to let the people decide the laws for the people are the ones' whose lives will mainly be affected by them.

There is also no real president or congress in our society. No reason to give people, who are people just like us, the right to have more political power than others. That is why it is the people's responsibility to implement the rules and policies that were voted on. After one moth of the policy or law being passed, all people have to have implemented the law or policy or they would have to present the case of why they did not implement it to the judging council, a council of the people who have law degrees.
