Ah yes, that little stupidity of insisting to call part of the original constitution "amendments" even though they aren't anything of the kind.
I'm not sure if you're using the correct version of 2 II, I think it includes a definition of "active". Good to hear you don't support efforts to raise the registration threshold, by the way.
I didn't remember that trial procedure at all.
And I think you meant "addition" when you wrote "addiction".

I actualy don't car ethat much, but not letting raise it might scre people away from signing this.

No, that definition is in Clause 4 of Article V of the Constitution.  I don't really like the wording of Section 2 of Amendment II; we shouldn't define the voting requirements in two separate places in the Constution, because if we amend one without amending the other, it'll lead to a direct contradiction.

The amendment that is currently in the pipeline in the Senate will rectify this, though it may not pass by the time we get our new Constitution...

Is there really any need for this Senator?  Protecting our civil liberties is all fine and good, but I don't think anyone here wants to impose a fascist regime on Atlasia.  And even if they did, it would be quite amusing, much like the "executions" of yesteryear.

I don't agree with these oaths-everything must be reviewed, and whilst I support the extreme majority of what the oath says to protect, I think all delegates should have the ability to debate everything.
