It's time to unveil the intricate framework for a modern constitution. Key Points for Your Revolutionary Notes: - Engaging the People: Involve millions in rethinking governance, shifting from a defeatist paradigm to active engagement in societal transformation. - Activate Citizen Assemblies: Use subject matter assemblies and aggregation assemblies involving diverse voices to decide on complex issues like childcare, transport policy, etc., ensuring a decentralized, participatory approach. - Democratize Expertise: Challenge the idea of elites dominating decisions, suggesting pluralistic experts and liquid democracy mechanisms for selecting representatives to avoid biases. - Implement Civil Service Reform: Advocate for a reformed civil service reflecting societal diversity, emphasizing the need for specialized knowledge while countering inherent conservatism. - Show Constitutional Innovation: Introduce a model where a new citizen assembly is selected every decade to review and adapt the constitution, applying democratic principles to societal structures, including the press and social legislation. -- For Roger's latest updates and to support his work, sign up to his email list at 👉https://rogerhallam.com/#/portal/signup You'll get a free copy of his book, Common Sense for the 21st Century, and his film, The Troublemaker. 🚶No More Marches🚶 Thousands are entering civil resistance around the world.
