NE2: Amendment to the Constitution

[Poirot]

Thank you for letting a citizen voice his concerns here.

I don't know if the Right to clean environment in The Bill of Rights is like a statement of the ideal to achieve or something powerful that could have major legal and economic consequences.

It states The citizens of the Northeast are guaranteed a clean and healthy environment to live and work in; free from the dangers of pollution, disease, or lack of resources.

I am not a legal expert but what happens when citizens are not free of dangers of pollution and disease. Could they ask for financial compensation? For example could citizens living near a highway and suffering from the pollution ask the government financial compensation for not respecting their right to a clean environment.

I worry lawyers could find a way to use this new right to provide them with a lot of legal work.
