Constitutional Amendment to Article D.6

gert-janl · Nov 20, 2004

mhcarver has approached the Judiciary to review the proposed Constitutional Amendment to Article D.6. Discussion about this amendment can be found here
During Judicial Review (DG5JR#29)the Court did not find any conflicts with existing legislation, and therefore brought this amendment to the House of the People

The original Article D.6 reads:

Code:

The Minister of Culture shall be responsible for the keeping of
the peace and the construction of wonders.

The proposal is to amend this into:

Code:

The Minister of Culture shall be responsible for the construction of 
wonders, as well as the analysis and maintenance of cultural borders.
This official shall also be responsible for monitoring Japanatica's cultural 
level against that of all rival nations.

Do you accept the proposed amendment to Article D.6 of the Constitution?

Every registered citizen is allowed to vote on this Constitutional Amendment. A voter can either vote 'yes', 'no', or abstain from voting.

As prescribed by Article I of the Constitution, citizens will be able to vote in this poll in the four coming days.
In order to grant this poll a legislative status the quorum of 18 voters is required.
In order to pass this amendment, an approval percentage of 67% is required.

This poll is now open :hammer:

No, it fails to give the cultural minister enough power to manage and maintain our culture vs other civs.

It also does not give the Culture minister enough power to defend our cities from a culture flip.

One baby step forward is better than standing still.

Strider has the most fun when he is being contrarian. I tend to do that a bit myself sometime.

Strider, the people have already made it clear that they want governors responsible for their own builds. There is nothing keeping the Culture Minister from working with the Governors. Besides, both things you mention are at least outlined in the Constitution, which will allow us to draft supporting laws now that will not bog down the Constitution.

What more power does the Culture Ministry need to "manage and maintain" our borders than "analysis and maintenance of cultural borders"? Unless you're talking about the possibility to override Governors--which has repeatedly been turned down by the citizens--there's not really that much more the Culture Minister can do.

There is not much more power to discuss by now, I think we should just use all our energy to close down this game and head straight for the diplomatic victory.

The game is too easy, just look at our cities, big and powerful through entire game. Maybe if we had worse terrain or AI at higher difficulty...

no, we need to start discussions about the next dg first, which should not happen until we win this game
we dont even know if we are doing any variants, we should decide on variants first because we dont wanna choose emperor and then find out we are doing a 5CC or always war
