Should we ratify the following constitutional preamble and articles?

We, the people of Fanatica, in order to create an atmosphere of friendship and cooperation, establish this Constitution of our beloved country. We uphold the beliefs that each citizen must have an equal voice in the government and ruling of our country, that government itself is a construct of and servant to the people, that rules, regulations, and laws should be established to facilitate the active participation of the people and to make possible the dreams and desires of the citizens.

Article A: All Civfanatics Forum users who register in the Citizen Registry are citizens of our country. Citizens have the right to assemble, the right to free movement, the right to free speech, the right to a fair trial, the right to representation, the right to seek to redress grievances and the right to vote.

Article B: Governing rules shall consist of these Articles of the Constitution, such amendments that shall follow and lower forms of law that may be implemented. No rule shall be valid that contradicts these Articles excepting an amendment specifically tasked to do so.

Article C: The government will consist of the Executive Branch, Legislative Branch and Judicial Branch.

It is good enough, but what happened to the CoL? Previous polling has shown a general interest to get the three books of DG2 modified for DG4. This one only sanctions itself.

@ Fier - This is a good lead in for the addition of books ~ "... that rules, regulations, and laws should be established to facilitate the active participation of the people and to make possible the dreams and desires of the citizens."

The books aren't specifically mentioned, but the intent is to write them in. The proposed poll does not exclude them, either.
