Senate Resolution
To amend the Constitution to solve the constitutional question regarding legislation that is removed for violations of the Terms of Service.
Be it Resolved in the Atlasian Senate Assembled, that upon ratification by 2/3rds of the Regions, the constitution shall be amended as follows:
The Don't Violate the Terms of Service Amendment
Article VIII, Section 2, shall read as follows:
Section 4. Supremacy of the Atlas Forum
1. Actions taken by Administrators or Moderators of the Atlas Forum are separate and distinct from their actions as citizens of Atlasia and they shall not be restricted, nor obstructed by Atlasian constitutional or statutory provision, in their enforcement of the Terms of Service by Atlasian constitutional or statutory provision.
2. Nothing in this section shall be construed as to provide immunity to moderators who violate any statutory provision that does not conflict with or obstruct enforcement of the terms of service.
3. Any federal or regional legislation that has been removed from the forum by a moderator due to violations of the Terms of Service or other forum policies shall be considered unenforceable.
This constitutional Amendment addresses the Constitutional question that has arisen by Senator Yankee, this board's moderator, needing to moderate the content of two pieces of legislation. Law is commonly defined as a corpus, a body, and laws cannot be enforced if the corpus is not fully accessible to the people. There is no solution that will successfully allow bills that go against the Terms of Service to be hosted or linked to on the forum, and it is not ever addressed in the Fifth Constitution. This Amendment makes it clear that if a bill cannot be posted on the forum, it cannot exist in our corpus of laws.
