A NEW COVENANT*
|
|
|
|
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED Witnesses to the Lesson of History - that no Form of
|
|
political Governance may be relied upon to secure the individual Rights
|
|
of Life, Liberty, or Property - now therefore establish and provide
|
|
certain fundamental Precepts measuring our Conduct toward one another,
|
|
and toward others:
|
|
|
|
Individual Sovereignty
|
|
|
|
FIRST, that we shall henceforward recognize each individual to be the
|
|
exclusive Proprietor of his or her own Existence and of all products of
|
|
that Existence, holding no Obligation binding among Individuals excepting
|
|
those to which they voluntarily and explicitly consent;
|
|
|
|
Freedom from Coercion
|
|
|
|
SECOND, that under no Circumstances shall we acknowledge any Liberty to
|
|
initiate Force against another Person, and shall instead defend the
|
|
inalienable Right of Individuals to resist Coercion employing whatever
|
|
Means prove necessary in their Judgement;
|
|
|
|
Association and Secession
|
|
|
|
THIRD, that we shall hold inviolable those Relationships among
|
|
Individuals which are totally voluntary, but conversely, any Relationship
|
|
not thus mutually agreeable shall be considered empty and invalid;
|
|
|
|
Individuality of Rights
|
|
|
|
FOURTH, that we shall regard Rights to be neither collective nor additive
|
|
in Character - two individuals shall have no more Rights than one, nor
|
|
shall two million nor two thousand million - nor shall any Group possess
|
|
Rights in Excess of those belonging to its individual members;
|
|
|
|
Equality of Liberty
|
|
|
|
FIFTH, that we shall maintain these Principles without Respect to any
|
|
person's Race, Nationality, Gender, sexual Preference, Age, or System of
|
|
Beliefs, and hold that any Entity or Association, however constituted,
|
|
acting to contravene them by initiation of Force - or Threat of same -
|
|
shall have forfeited its Right to exist;
|
|
|
|
Supersedure
|
|
|
|
UPON UNANIMOUS CONSENT of the Members or Inhabitants of any Association
|
|
or Territory, we further stipulate that this Agreement shall supercede
|
|
all existing governmental Documents or Usages then pertinent, that such
|
|
Constitutions, Charters, Acts, Laws, Statutes, Regulations, or Ordinances
|
|
contradictory or destructive to the Ends which it expresses shall be null
|
|
and void, and that this Covenant, being the Property of its Author and
|
|
Signatories, shall not be Subject to Interpretation excepting insofar as
|
|
it shall please them.
