In addition to working to finish the Constitution of Amagi, I have been thinking of ways for new county projects to work together.
This idea is one of the results of that thinking.
A Convention for the Gaining of Territorial Sovereignty by Currently Non Territorial States and for the Stabilization of the Exchange Rates of their Currencies
_________, ________________, ________________, and ________________
Believing that an increase in the number of territorial states will allow for a greater variety of political arrangements to be tried and thus increase the freedom of the individual;
Mindful of their objective of achieving territorial sovereignty for their states;
Convinced that this objective maybe more quickly achieved by working together;
Understanding that the prosperity and strength of a nation depends on a stable monetary system;
Determined to conclude a treaty to affect these purposes;
Have appointed as their Plenipotentiaries:

RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT
While this is strictly speaking off topic. I want to encourage my readers to look into supporting Dr. Ron Paul, R-14th Texas, for president. Representative Paul is known as Dr. No on capital hill because he votes against the many bills that legislate on maters out side the federal government’s constitutionally limited area of responsibility.
While Ron Paul is by no means perfect, he by far the best member of congress. With a number of serious problems facing our country including war and the economic situation, we need to have the best and most trustworthy person as chief magistrate of the Republic. Ron Paul fits the bill.

THE DEATH PENALTY?
The Constitution of Amagi as curently writen alows for the death penalty in so far as Sec. 1 of the bill of rights provides that,
“No person shall be deprived of their life without due process of law upon a charge of treason, premeditated murder, or murder in the commission of a crime.”
Thus a person could be put to death for treason or murder as long as there was due process of law.
My view is that just as a person who deprives someone of their liberty or property losses their own right to liberty and property and can’t complain when they are fined or imprisoned, a person who murders another is deprived of his right to life.
I believe that execution in such cases is just. However I think that capital punishment should probably be restricted to cases of where the defendant has been convicted by two different juries of two different murders.
Treason, is a question I will leave to a later time because it is such a controversial topic among libertarians, but suffice it to say I do believe in capital punishment for treason.
I hope to receive some comments on this topic.
