This, the Constitution of The United Kingdom of Great Britain, recognizes the complete sovereignty of this nation, free from rule and oversight of other nations, and serves as the final and highest word in law of the people of the nation and the responsibility of government to its people, replacing the authority on previous law of these lands and of foreign legislation over this nation. The United Kingdom of Great Britain continues to recognize its responsibilities to the outside world as a nation within the unity of nations and will endeavor to help influence the world to bring their own survival, well-being and prosperity to the peoples of other nations as equals to our own people.

 

The key objectives of Human Endeavor and the Moral Principles to live by, in order of priority:

 

Sanctity & Preservation of Human Life

• The sanctity, protection and preservation of human life is above all the single most important feature of human endeavor. It must be in every citizen’s mind and the basis of every state legislation and hold priority above all other actions that people are protected from life threatening occurrences and kept out of harms way

 

Quality of Existence

• No person in the agreed collective can inflict harm or incite or instruct others to inflict harm on a person or persons either physically or mentally at any time with the only exception being where it can be shown that it is in a position of defense as a last option in a given moment and that defense is proportional as a reaction to prevent harm being inflicted

• Every person has the right to freedom from domination, suppression, fear, threat, servitude, slavery, degradation, torture or cruelty or harm physically or emotionally, in the home, the workplace, society or upon foreign soil

• All citizens are afforded maintenance of liberty, a life of dignity and privacy where required while they are maintaining their responsibilities and obligations of citizenship

• To recognize the human conscience and reasoning to question, to opinionate and to express where that expression in cause and effect does not violate the quality of existence of others

• To have respect for religious, spiritual, or non-religious, non-spiritual beliefs of others with in the nation state, within the community or within the family or domestic arrangement and to be allowed to live a life within those belief systems where it does not contradict or violate the ethical or moral ideology of the nation state or social standards of behavior preserved within this constitution ie the sanctity and preservation of human life, the quality of existence or the harnessing of life and personal development or the rights and duties of citizen or the objectives and responsibilities of the nation state.

• All people - citizens, visitors to the nation state and foreign nationals - are to be treated with respect and equality in regard to their gender, age, physical or mental abilities, race, place of origin, religion or spirituality, their position in society and their sexuality.

• The arrangements for romance and sex are to be entered into by dual consent of two adults at any time over the age of 16 and either party may choose to dissolve that arrangement when they want to without penalty.

• Indecency, overt sexuality and nudity in verbalization, personal enactment, film or image are only to be in areas where adult agreement has been made to accept said practices

​

Harnessing of Life and Personal Development

 

• Every citizen has the freedom and encouragement to harness all personal potential in oneself developing self-determination, quest for knowledge, sociability in their connection to the living environment, utilized capabilities, courage and the rational required for self control.

• Every citizen is to harness a relationship of empathic connection to society based upon Compassion, Awareness, Shared Responsibility, Interactivity, Productivity and Participation.

• It is the objective of both citizen and state alike to draw a balance between the above two positions within each citizen in recognition of the self as both The Individual and The Member of Society, to continue to act as both while neglecting neither.

• Marriage is to be recognized as an arrangement of inter dependency between two people and as an institution is to be open to any two consenting adults as long as both adults agree fully on the contract

• Every child is born, or adopted, into a situation of care and responsibility taken by the adult carer/s who have prepared in understanding how best to carry out their responsibilities as parent/guardian

• At 4 years every child is provided a formal situation of education in which to develop and learn from professionals who become their guardian for the duration of that learning period

• At 11 years every child agrees to take partial responsibility for their own learning and citizenship in partnership with their parent/guardian/s and allocated teaching professionals

• Education and re-education throughout life is to be encouraged by the individual and by the state in order to produce a society of progressive intellectualism

• No person should be enforced into a situation of separatism based on creed, skin color, race or religion, either in the school, the workplace or other commercial or social institution as it is separatism that leads to the sense of otherness in society that has been the basis of conflict.

 

Protection and Development of the living environment

• Due to the nature of the shared environment no person or institution or entity shall unduly pollute the environment where it can be avoided and where an understanding of pollution has been established.

• The personal production of pollution also extends to odors, noise and chemical where the cause effects other people in the moment or the greater environment for future generations

• It is the responsibility of all in society and state to work towards the improvement of the living environment for current well-being, future generations and long term human survival

 

 

 

Universal Social Contract

Preamble:  The nation state of the United Kingdom of Great Britain is the defined perimeter of organization for the nation which is to be respected in physicality and concept. It is the defined and agreed collective in space and the resources within as well as the membership of its citizens. Citizens belonging to the nation state have rights and duties in relation to the nation state and the nation state in return has objectives and responsibilities to the citizen. This is the binding contract between these two parties - citizen and state.

 

The Rights and Duties of Citizenship

 

• All citizens have equality in the eyes of society and the laws of the nation state regardless of gender, adult age, physical or mental abilities, race, place of origin, religion or spirituality, their position or status in society or their sexuality,

• All citizens are equal also in political power on a system of one person one vote without people being represented by other people, gangs, groups, associations, parties or unions when it comes to casting that vote over issues on a monthly basis so that there is no higher political power than that of the electorate.

• All citizens therefore have equal responsibility to become politically and socially aware through the state or an independent medium to understand the issues they are asked to vote upon on a monthly basis

• Recognition that the nation state is the only and highest ruling authority when it comes to matters of citizenship and the legal boundaries, rights and responsibilities as put forward in this constitution.

• All citizens of the nation state need to show their alligence to the nation state and no other nation. The nation state is open to criticism but it not open to defiance in deed which is an act of treason.

• All citizens are accountable for the cause and effect they have on society and the people within society

• All citizens have accountability towards the state and are not afforded annonimity or privacy as far as their relationship to the state and their appearance in public because of the risk it carries in crime and misconduct

• Where a citizen is suspected to be in violation of this constitution then a reasonable investigation may be carried out by the guardians of the state and the findings presented to a board of judges for trial, and the citizen is allowed representation in their defense of prosecution.

• Where a citizen is deemed to be a continued threat to the well-being of society and/or citizens within society then steps can be taken to limit their liberty until such time as they are no longer deemed a threat.

• Where a citizen has been found guilty of violation of the constitution then a reasonable repayment must be made by the citizen to balance the cause and effect of their actions, this is to be calculated on the effect to the victim, the work carried out in apprehension by guardianship/policing services, the court system expenses and the further penal services.

• Where possible work must be made available to those who have restricted liberty so that the sentenced citizen is able to repay their debt to society

• Drug addiction of legal or illegal drugs, cigarettes or alcohol should be discouraged at every opportunity and the addict needs to be helped out of the addiction so that society is not harmed as a result of their lack of reason in behavioral issues.

• To understand the basis and the subtleties of the national moral position – Compassion, Awareness and Shared Responsibilities. Compassion to give only for the sake of kindness, to encourage fairness, to treat others with rational equality and not to bring harm, to be truthful, to combine compassion with awareness to bring empathy in order to give respect to others for their own sense of pride, to understand possession and know to respect what does and does not belong to you, to take on a social sharing or responsibility to endeavor to learn, to dedicate to ones own health and well-being and encourage those around you and to contribute to society for what you receive in return.

• To understand that living ones life with Compassion, Awareness and Shared Responsibility can also lead us away from the immoral positions of selfishness, greed, unrequired lust, humiliation, disrespect, hate, anger, dominance over others, abuse, ignorance, envy, hypocracy, cowardess, untruthfulness, extreme egoism, self-delusion, self indulgence, gluttony and slothfulness.

• In order for the nation to reach a sustainable population couples wanting children are encouraged and incentivized to have the ideal of just one child when they reach their 30’s

• Post retirement aged citizens are encouraged and incentivized to take part time work in order to contribute to the productivity of the nation
