Bill: Liberalization act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberty and Solidarity
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2863
Description[?]:
| The age to become an adult: Decreased to 16. Main reason is to enable students to work along with studies. Also some of the polls showed, that 16 years old are today more responsible and independent. Nationality: Now everyone is able to decide their nationality. Nationality is not the same as citizenship, where L&S accepts some rules to become the citizen. Nationality is about the feeling and does not affect the relation between state and its citizens. The number of people in assembly: Reduced significantly to 200. This will reduce spending on administration. Compulsory education: Many schools compain about their students being drunk at the lessons, while they are 18, but are still forced to go to schools. Therefore, the quality of the schools decreases. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
