Laws & Rules on
Online-Nations.net
Comprehensible rules and laws: laws or other rules have one common purpose - to manage the boundaries
and interfaces between individual freedoms (of individuals or groups of individuals). These rules or laws must be
comprehensible for the average
citizen
. Rules and laws are put in effect by direct democratic consensus. Each law must
be judged by at least following additional criteria outside it's content:
- Is the law comprehensible? (non comprehensible laws are illegal - the majority of citizens must be able to understand the law!)
- Is the law necessary to
- secure peaceful coexistence?
- define the boundaries of individual freedoms for individuals or groups of individuals?
- safeguard individual freedoms?
(Any law limiting the internal freedom of an individual or group is called an
"unnecessary law". Such laws are
illegal in the
common area
of Online-Nations.net.)
It is the goal of
Online-Nations.net
to keep legal systems
as small and manageable as possible and avoid any unnecessary rules or laws.
All legal affairs are subject to direct
democratic proceedures with the community taking the decision.
It is the goal of Online-Nations.net to prevent the formation
of a "ruling elite" controlling the laws and rules and/or obtaining a monopoly in any legal affair (se also "Aggregation of Power").
The community of
Online-Nations.net
will define the laws. Passing laws will require a direct democratic majority plus a positive
evaluation whether the law is comprehensible and necessary.
