All levels of government must protect the rights of individual persons to speak against the opinions of anyone using their knowledge of physical or historical realities and the rights of individual persons to provide for the campaigns of people who will speak their minds in any level of government, but no such provision shall allow them to receive access to the public funding of any level of government. Public forums may be established for this purpose.

All levels of government shall respect the right of the press to condemn by their words any action at any level of government or at a derivative of government such as groups that lobby for certain rules and regulations to be implemented.

ARTICLE XII (Right to Keep and Bear Arms)

The ability of former or current soldiers provided for by a law of Congress to keep and bear personal weapons shall not be infringed, and nor shall any law at any level of government prohibit students and teachers from learning everything there is to know about how to use weaponry and being able to keep it for their protection, with the only areas where weapons may be prohibited being areas with enough of a guard to stop one with ill-will in their tracks.

ARTICLE XIII (Natural Marriage)

One man and one woman may choose to give exclusive jurisdiction of their person, property and legitimate labour to each other, being taxed as if one was the other, or one of them may choose to make themselves a slave to the other with the other being under the death penalty should their relationship not be exclusive, in which case they shall be taxed as if they were both the other. Under both conditions their term shall be to the end of either’s life and be of two who are not blood related. Otherwise no person may be bound to labor for any person except as punishment for committing the most atrocious crime or crimes against them or someone they are related to, in which case the labor shall be legitimate and solely for the monetary gain of the victim or the victim’s family.

The states shall have the power to enforce this by appropriate legislation, however, Congress may order for the laws of a state with regard to this (particularly the lack of legislative enforcement thereof) to be made as strict as the strictest laws with regard to this in any state.

ARTICLE XIV (Military Obligation of Congress)

In all military engagements in which the military of the United States is on the offensive against the military of a foreign state, or is retreating from such an offensive, all members of Congress must be on the frontline of such an offensive, or retreat thereof.

No ransoms may be paid for the life of any member of Congress or anyone working under the authority of the United States.

ARTICLE XV (Finality of Law)

The language of the Constitution is final, as is, no warranty until otherwise amended according to Article XII. Judges and Justices cease to have those titles if they order otherwise, but the second clause of the tenth section of Article I may be waived until a majority of States can fulfill that requirement.

The language of the laws passed pursuant to the Constitution is final, as is, no warranty until otherwise amended by a new law passed pursuant to the Constitution.

State laws that do not violate the language of the Constitution or the laws passed pursuant thereof are final, as is, no warranty until the State passes legislation to amend their laws pursuant to their constitution and within the limits prescribed by this Constitution and by legislation pursuant to this Constitution.

Treaties enacted by the President and two-thirds of the Senators present shall be effective as is no warrantee until one of the following conditions are met, in which case it shall be defective:

Two-thirds of the citizens of the United States demonstrate their contempt of the treaty.

The treaty is rescinded under the terms of the treaty.

Where the treaty does not have terms for its rescission, it is rescinded by the passage of a law of Congress that denies the existence of this treaty.

ARTICLE XVI (Ratification and amendment)

SECTION 1

The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the several States, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by conventions in three-fourths thereof, but that no State, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate, and that all amendments shall be written as a new Constitution that is identical to this Constitution but for the words, outside of Article XV and Article XVI, that are to be replaced.

SECTION 2

The ratification of this Constitution by at least three of every four States shall cause the adoption of this Constitution.
