Each town is an independent state that has absolute and unchallengeable power over itself. Towns as they are govern themselves like absolute monarchies, with the mayors at the top, ordering everyone what to do and what to contribute. I present the following documents that enforce democracies in towns and protect natural rights of citizens:
Responses to FAQ's:
Towns only have to accept these documents if they want to (not going to force anyone, because... HOW?)
Please do understand that these documents are merely a template for towns that do want the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Yes, they can be changed by you. There is no copyright and it's not carved out in the White House
The Bill of Rights
Any player in The West is considered a natural person, and when dealing with towns is protected by the First Right, the right to be correctly and fully informed about all policies the town implements.
The First Right cannot be altered by any town. It is provided, so to say, 'AS IS'. If you invite people into your town, they have to know the full truth about what your town does, and that is defined by morale and ethics.
Anyone accepted into a town automatically becomes a citizen of the town with certain rights that the government of the town cannot take away.
Second Right is the right to citizenship security. Under the Bill, no citizen can be kicked out of the town by higher officials, unless at least 2/3 of all citizens vote him/her out.
Third Right is the right to property. No citizen can be forced by the government to submit or discard of or sell any items they own (including money).
Once again, these are the rights that cannot be taken away once they are given.
The Constitution
Preambule:
Each citizen in a town by default has a right to decide on the town's issues through voting.
In order to let their town grow and expand, the citizens can voluntarily give up their right to property to contribute to the treasury so that new buildings could be built. Citizens do not have to give up their money to the treasury, as stated in the Bill of Rights. If they do, however, they gain more weighted votes (explained below).
I. Popular Vote:
In the popular vote system each citizen in the town, regardless of level, building hours, and money contribution has exactly one popular vote. The proposals that have the most popular votes become the "Popular proposals".
II. Weighted Vote:
Each citizen, nevertheless, contributed differently to the town development. In the weighted vote system, each person has (money contributed)+20X(building hours) weighted votes. The proposals that have the most weighted votes become the "Weighted proposals"
III. Town Mayors
Town Mayors or Town Counselors cannot take action upon any issue that will reflect the life in the town without letting the citizens vote on the issue first.
If there are any disputes between the weighted proposals and the popular proposals, the town mayors have the power to pick the proposal to follow from the disputed ones.
Town Forum
All voting has to be done in a separate town forum called "Voting". Current issues are labeled "Important" until they hit their deadline. No topic in the voting forum should ever be deleted.
