Twelve Simple Reasons
Why we need to ratify the Constitution for the Federation of Earth
#1 Replaces
the global war
system with a
global
peace system:
World peace is
established by
bringing all
peoples and
nations under a
democratic World
Parliament
established on
the principle of
unity in
diversity.
All voices are
heard. Justice
is impartially
administered by
world courts.
Mutual
understanding
and tolerance
are encouraged.
#2 Disarmageddon:
Weapons of mass destruction are
eliminated from the world and the most
destructive and dangerous of other modern
weapons are carefully and fairly reduced to make
the world a safe and happy home for humanity.
#3 Replaces the "new world order" with a democratic world order:
Rogue nations and
big nations no longer dominate and manipulate
smaller nations. Terrorism and the use of
violence are replaced with democratic processes
that treat everyone fairly, with justice and
equality. By doing this hatred and
resentment are greatly reduced.
#4
Saves beneficial
United Nations
agencies:
All beneficial
UN agencies,
such as the
World Health
Organization,
the High
Commission on
Human Rights and
the Educational,
Scientific and
Cultural
Organization are
brought under
the Earth
Constitution
as ministries
within the Earth
Federation and
empowered with
adequate
funding.
#5 Protects
core values --
freedom,
liberty,
independence,
democracy:
The core values
of a free
society are
protected for
each and every
nation.
Freedom,
liberty,
independence and
democracy are
empowered for
all because
nations no
longer have to
restrict freedom
because of
insecurity and
threats from a
dangerous world
of hostile
nations or
cultures.
#6 Love of
family and
country:
Love of family
and country are
encouraged
within a
framework that
makes this
possible for all
peoples and
nations.
These values now
become strongly
positive and no
longer generate
the feeling that
love of my
family and
country puts me
in conflict with
others around
the world.
#7 More local
control
with increased
resources:
Local economics,
local democratic
governance, and
local culture is
encouraged
worldwide under
the Earth
Constitution
because they are
the keys to
freedom,
economic
prosperity, and
ecological
sustainability.
The "federation"
principle, means
local government
and local
control within
the larger
democratic Earth
Federation.
#8 Freedom of
religion:
Freedom of
religion is
guaranteed for
all within a
framework of
tolerance,
mutual respect,
and love.
#9 First green
constitution:
The Earth
Constitution
is designed to
protect the
planetary
environment and
permit human
beings to
flourish while
protecting the
environment and
the ability of
future
generations to
enjoy the Earth
as a happy home.
#10 Ecological
principles
embedded in
Earth
Constitution:
The Earth
Constitution
is based on the
understanding
that all aspects
of the
environment are
interrelated and
interdependent,
just as all
societies on
Earth are
interrelated and
interdependent.
It protects both
the ecology of
the Earth and
the social
ecology of human
well being under
the principle of
unity in
diversity.
#11 Good
government:
The Earth
Constitution
is designed
to promote good
government at
every level
within the Earth
Federation.
Corrupt
government
officials can be
removed for
cause, and a
professional
civil service
with high
qualifications
ensures
competent
officials at
every level of
government.
#12 Protection
against tyranny:
The Earth
Constitution
is designed with
careful checks
and balances to
ensure that
tyranny cannot
develop. It
promotes active
citizenship and
informed
citizens
throughout the
Earth
Federation,
which is the
best defense
against any
possible
tyranny. It is
premised on a
carefully
designed
liberty,
equality, and
community for
all the people
living on Earth.
