[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

An Amendment to the Fifth Constitution of Atlasia
To truly preserve the stability, integrity, and democratic nature of the Republic by excluding the disruptive force to the very foundation of Atlasia itself

Section 1. Title

This shall be known as the Domestic Tranquility Amendment for Atlasia.

Article I of the Constitution of Atlasia shall be amended as follows:

Section 1.

All persons born or naturalized in the Republic of Atlasia, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, except those explicitly listed on Article I, Section 15, are citizens of the Republic of Atlasia and of the Region in which they reside, and shall in all cases be afforded equal protection under the law.

Section 15.

Although no Bill of attainder may be passed by either the Senate or the Regions, this Constitution reserves the exceptional right to exclude individuals from citizenship in the Republic of Atlasia, in order to preserve the stability, integrity, and democratic nature of the Republic.

The following individuals under their current or future username or verified sock accounts of the listed individuals, are hereby listed as excluded from such rights in perpetuity and shall not be permitted to hold any office, elected or appointed, or vote in any election, in any region or any other entity under jurisdiction of this Constitution:

-TexasConservative, also known as Young Texan.

Article VIII of the Constitution of Atlasia shall be amended as follows:

Section 2. 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. Administrators and Moderators of the Atlas Forum shall be permitted to declare an account to be a sock account for the purpose of compliance with Article I, Section 15.

Amendment Explanation

The addition of Section 15 to Article I establishes a mechanism to ensure that individuals who threaten the very existence of this game we know and love as Atlasia can be banned through the highest legal means there is -- the amending process of the federal Constitution. The addition of the third clause to Article VIII, Section 2 allows the forum moderators and administrators to be able to enforce the banning of users through sock checks as a banned user may make a sock account to go around the game ban.

Nay

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Nay. Not relevant to the issue being addressed now.

Nay. Not relevant to the issue being addressed now.

Crimes punished only for some, then?

This should've been considered after last April if we wanted to handle the issue that way.

The notion of banning certain players individually in the Constitution was only breached now and do you sincerely think a statute of limitations of one year on treason is wise?

If we're going to ban every single poster accused or convicted of treason, we'd have to throw in Snowstalker (who's banned), TNF, Xahar, Al, and probably other names Yankee would recall.

Seems like a straw man argument to justify keeping one active treasonous poster above the law.

Is activity why Truman is part of the amendment?

Seems like you are avoiding the elephant in the room.

You must be amenable to striking Truman and keeping OBD who is somewhat active and WD who is more active, if you are only against banning inactive treasonous citizens?

I'm done after this term and I'm not going to focus on stuff not related to the amendment that's over a year old now. This should've been discussed then.
