Text of the Bill of Rights
Preamble
The Preamble to the Bill of Rights
Congress of the
THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.
RESOLVED by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, two thirds of both Houses concurring, that the following Articles be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States, as amendments to the Constitution of the United States, all, or any of which Articles, when ratified by three fourths of the said Legislatures, to be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of the said Constitution; viz.
ARTICLES in addition to, and Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, proposed by Congress, and ratified by the Legislatures of the several States, pursuant to the fifth Article of the original Constitution."[30]
- First Amendment – Freedom of speech, press, religion, peaceable assembly, and to petition the government. (This is good, we are going to keep this one)
Congress 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.
- Second Amendment – Right of the people to keep and bear arms.
The story of this play mentions the Assult Weapon Ban of 1994. It played a key part in the capitalist plan. If we are not allowed to have these weapons, then what if a situation like this arises. The only reasons I stress this is because our founding fathers made Right to bear arms the second amendment.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
- Third Amendment – Protection from quartering of troops.
This is very out dated. How about a new Third Amendment.
Everyone has the right to a house! Or at least some where to live. There are too many homeless people in the richest country in the world.
Anyone that does not have a home, you are welcome to come live in one of mine. My company is going to provide free living to people that cannot afford a home.
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.
- Fourth Amendment – Protection from unreasonable search and seizure.
The partriot act has very much changed this amendment. I am white, so i do not have as many problems. But anyone that looks like they are from the middle east is subjected to being terrorist at airports. It is so bogus because it is simply a cover for racism. I think that we should have a ZERO Discrimination policy in the new order. How we are going to inforce that? Education.
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.
- Fifth Amendment – Due process, double jeopardy, self-incrimination, private property.
This one is a joke. If a higher power wants you dead, there is not much due process is going to help. The entire court system is completely based on how much money you have. If you are poor, and cannot afford a good lawyer, then you do not matter.
How about a amendment that protects you from that.
No person shall be held to answer for any capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand 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 offence 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.
- Sixth Amendment – Trial by jury and other rights of the accused.
I fully intend to give all the Elites a fair trial.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where in the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.
- Seventh Amendment – Civil trial by jury.
In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
- Eighth Amendment – Prohibition of excessive bail, as well as cruel and unusual punishment.
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
- Ninth Amendment – Protection of rights not specifically enumerated in the Bill of Rights.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
- Tenth Amendment – Powers of states and people

Wow, this play is truly amazing. You did a great job writing this. I think it will be a success when you finish production.
While I thought this was a great play however, I must tell you my (brief) opinion about the ideas expressed. First, I am opposed to the idea of the creation of this new form of government, not so much because of what it stands for, but because of how it accomplishes its goals. In the beginning, you stated that this started with the unified workers party (I probably have this name wrong, but the idea is the same)got together and unified through an online service. The actions that resulted from it (putting the 'elite' on trial) came as a result of this. Well this had a profound impact all across the world. It is true that this online group was open to anyone that wanted to join, but there are far more people in this world without internet access, without computer access, and without the technological knowledge to work such a device. You claim that this new government is by the people and for the people, yet not all of them got to decide on the actions that were taken. (I am not trying to make the point that the majority of people that did not have access to such things would vote against this, I am merely pointing out the hypocrisy of it and of the main character).
Next, there is the issue of realism in the individuals supporting this cause. Would would actually support this cause in America. I can see the poor supporting this cause as they would see the biggest advantage of the system. However, I do not see the lower-to-upper middle class supporting it. They (typically) have a good enough life and are satisfied. Also, they (in my opinion) have the same mindset as the 'elites'. They aren't always mad at the wealthy, but rather inspire to be the wealthy. I am not saying that all of society is like this, but there are quite a few.
Also, this new form of society is said to have taken place around the world, yet you tell it only from the American perspective. While this is a good way to get your point across (to whom I'm assuming is your target audience), I do not believe that it helps to get your point across. You talk about world unity, and equal rights for all. That is much easier to say from an American perspective than say someone who lives in South Africa.
You posed the question "Who's side are you on?" Before reading this, I would have easily consider myself on the side of the 'elite' because that myself, is what I aspire to (even though I will probably never come close). I support people conducting their lives in ways that will benefit themselves. And I support everyone working as hard as they possible can to do such a thing.
But you also made some very good and interesting points. That everyone should be given a chance to do such a thing. While I fully support your points on everyone should have food to eat, water to drink, and access to an education, I question how this is going to happen. This society that you have created is based off the principle that everyone wants to work hard, everyone wants to make something for themselves, and everyone is good at heart. But how far should your system help those that dont want to do such a thing. What about the people that are comfortable 'just surviving' if they dont have to do anything. Should these people be punished?
You also stated that certain people that have jobs that will benefit all of society should be paid more. How does this fit into your society? One way you could look at it is that these profession would just replace big business that exists today. Instead of people trying to better there lives with gadgets and gizmos, they would replace it with things on that list. However, by doing this, they are creating a better society, while improving their personal life, much as the same way that business owners do today. By finding ways to get ahead, then going for it.
Anyway, back to the question you posed. What side am I on now? I believe that the way this world works needs to change. I believe that it will not be able to sustain itself for much longer. And while I disagree with many of the points that you made, I also believe they have much truth in them. I believe that a society as the one you have created in this screen write could be the answer to our problems. But I also believe that it can never happen. Something bigger than us (and when I mean us I mean humanity. Before anything can happen, we need to find a way for the Whole World to unite and set aside our differences.
Necessity is the means for change. While our system still works, while the world is still able to work under this system (no matter how poorly it does work) nothing will change. And for something to change it will have to be as you pointed out, the whole world coming together.
Anyway, to sum this up, while I may disagree on some of the points that you have made, I think you did an excellent job of making you point. You have given me a lot to think about, and I hope that it will do the same for your audience. I am not sure who originally said this but "While I disagree and oppose what you have to say, I will fight for your right to say it."
Please let the Legend board of Gamefaqs.com know when you complete this, I would love to read it in its completed form.
Thank You and Good Luck,
