The [Na'vi] Constitution and Bill of Rights

['Itan Atxur]

Why would we need a council right now the people are fine discusing stuff on their own and its a long time till we do this so we don't need final desictions yet

We seem to be growing quickly. I'm just worried that we'll get disorganized down the line. Maybe we only need an "eyktan" right now though.

[The old Uriuujìn]

I think that a Council is important so that we do not use up valuable time that can be used doing chores and making things around the Tribe, be it Eco-village driven or not, ship-shape, as it were. That way, only a few people, trusted by the majority, can make everything run smoothly, and not burden the bulk of other responsibilities with a single Eyktan. If it were me, personally, I would want all the help I could get ^_^ That is why I think a Council is necessary- this way they can be the ones to take a little bit of time out to set things straight and then go and do their normal duties, so that everyone else can use that time more wisely ^_^ Just my thoughts on it

Yes, I certainly agree with that. But I don't think that's what we were discussing the last few posts. We were talking about the organization we have now within the website.

Maybe, we could have a temp. council until all of the people's "abilities" are recognized. Then, they would be appointed. Also, if this way were to happen, the council members could run their field of expertise. For example, the chief hunter will be the head trainer for aspiring hunters, but when needed for gov't matters another hunter will take over for that day. So, it'll give them the ability to help others, do what they "love," and deal with gov't business.

one problem with that we don't know peoples real skills yet so its hard to choose the council yet

I t D hink that for now we need a temporary Eyktan and Counsel just for getting things started and keeping us organized.

(Yay! Post # 700 within this board!!)

Also, congratulations on # 700

Ya I agree with that

but for most decitions at the tribe I think the people should also get a vote not just the concil and eyktan. They would deal with smaller issues or things that would not be necicary for a vote eg taxs

['Itan Atxur]

Yeah, I'm definitely not feeling a true democracy.

Yes, there are some "voting" worthy topics and some that are voting worthy through the council only. However, in my opinion, the council and eyktan should be the only people who are allowed to start a voting procedure. The people should be allowed to petition for a topic, then the council would decide to start the voting procedure.

Also, I believe that since there might be a leader and a council, a law should be passed similar to the Sepremacy  Clause, or the 14th amendment. This will give the leader superior power over the council indefinitly. This is so the council cannot hold more power than the leader.

Oh, and also I'll be putting amendments 11-27 tomorrow

//offtopic// will the scouts and hunters have a code of conduct such as to protect the tribe peacefully before shooting.//offtopic//

we probably should have some sort of code, but does it will probably depend on wether were shooting at animals or humans or have i got totally the wrong idea here

Hopefully we'll NEVER have to fight off other humans. The moment we have to start shooting at humans, the idea probably fails.

I would think it would apply. If you would allow me to I can always add that into the ## amendment, or the right to bear arms. Also, I wouldn't consider this off topic.

We wont have to fight most likely and remember their are no hunters per say we are all every job exept the teachers and skilled jobs eg docter

Yes, of course it would be an extremely unlikely event, but I now believe that there should be information about what to do during a time of crisis needing weapons. For example, a bear attack, or a random guy with a gun. There should be (in my opinion) a gun (bow or rifle) stack in the "town hall" for those rare situations.

['Itan Atxur]

A guy with a gun still won't stand a chance against a group of people trained with bows. And if there's a group of people attacking us with guns it's probably the police or the military so we're screwed anyways. I personally see very little use in having a gun, though many people have expressed they'd at least like us to have one for protection.

i just thought of something i think is very important. I think there should be something that prevents the "government" from expanding itself so that it stays as we put it and as we intended it. Because once governments start growing they tend to move in bad directions. IMO

I completely agree with this. I also think we need something in there about population control too.
