Greetings, in concern for my safety, this will remain anonymous!

A great lie has been spread across our world. This lie is obvious to anyone with the eyes to see what is occurring all around them. The lie is that the system of ethics and virtues set forth years and years ago is something that protects and nurtures the growth of a productive society.

To this I say, show me your great culture, show me your great society, show me your peace and freedom from fear. It cannot be done.

The world is in turmoil, constant strife, rampant with crime unpunished and every year another group realizes that they cannot rely on the once-mighty Britain to protect them, let alone maintain order.

What then, you ask, is the solution? Patience, for it will be shown. For now, I will answer the question, "What is the cause?"

We now propose a new idea of freedom! That ALL of Britannia is to be reformed into a republic, not like that of Vesper. But a federally constitutional republic! No more monarchy, no more heresy, dictatorship or the restraining of the citizens!

IT CAN BE DONE!

We the People of Britannia, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for Britannia.

I left out most of the articles as they are not complete!

Amendments:

No town shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of Britannia; nor shall any town or state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Law 1: Britannia shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Law 2: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free Britannia, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Law 3:
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Law 4: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Law 5: No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on presentment or indictment of a jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Law 6: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

This not yet complete, but should be shortly!

There will also be three branches of this new Britannia government, if accepted.. A legislature, executive and judicial branch would replace what we currently have now..

STAND UP BRITANNIA, STAND UP! THE TIME IS AMONG US TO START THE REVOLTING!! WE MUST REVOLT!!! FIGHT FOR FREEDOM!!
