Description[?]:
| "One of the most important things to run a nation is justice. Law and Order able to keep the peace within the nation. I bring this bill to the floor today and ask for your 'I' vote on it. This bill will reform the justice system to bring better law and order within our nation and being fair."-Nate Burton Article 1: Everyone should be able to appeal because sometimes people are convicted of crimes they did not comitt. Article 2: If something is going on a curfew can be put in place, we give the local governments of doing this when a state of emergency is decalred. The time will be either 10pm or 11pm Article 3: ADD-ON: ONLY THE JUSTICE MINISTER MAY GIVE PERMISSION FOR THE USE OF TROTURE. Article 4: Let's be fair some people want to be able to live in gated communities, this is a fair proposal. Article 5: We ask that it be changed due to the fact that local governments could make it where all citzens give DNA, or none at all. We believe that any accused of a crime or convicited must have their DNA recorded and on record for law enforcment agents. Those who are accused could still be guilty just never able to be convicited (e.x. mob boss) |

| Message | I agree with the first article, as I have long since tried to pass it, however, the allowing of a gated, hierarchical community, and the allowance of torture is simple terrifying to me. |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
