NE3: Amendment to the Northeast Constitution

[cinyc]

Under the SOAP (not yet updated on the wiki), all proposed constitutional amendments must be accompanied by a a formal explanation of the proposed change and arguments for it created by the sponsor.  The explanation is subject to debate, but within the sole control of the sponsor.  Any Representative against the proposed change can offer a formal statement against it, which is debated under similar rules.  These explanations are provided for the voters in the Atlas Fantasy Government board before the proposed amendment is voted on.

Awesome - how do I set it up?

I think you just state it in a post.  Your first post advocating the bill is a good start.

This amendment changes the Constitution's ability from three missed bills to four. I proposed this because the Assembly usually debates three bills at a time, and I feel that missing five days (because it usually takes less than 36 hours for the sponsor to advocate) is too strict. Four is a happy balance.

Is this good?

Well, that's up to my elected Representatives to debate, but it sounds like a sponsor's statement in support to me.
