Bill: Minority Protection Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Maroon Party
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: March 2061
Description[?]:
| We desire to create an electoral system in order to protect the interests of Miktar, Mothar, and Largonia against the sheer populational advantage of Dorvan and Kordusia. Every region has sheer and distinct interests that need to be represented to prevent any region from getting out of hand. I propose that we create a system similar to the American system, which is the world's oldest surviving electoral system for a reason. We must balance majority rule with minority rights. This new electoral system will grant that balance. |
