Too centralized imo.

Just have a union of private property owners and law enforcement. No taxation. You can have your membership feed w.e

I'm not signing up for another state democracy

It is very different from a normal unlimited democracy and it codifies all rights necessary for freedom.

Besides you probably live in a socialist democracy right now and willingly pay tons of taxes. In other words you are currently a willing slave.

There's been enough to know how it ends.

No there hasn't. Constitutional minarchism has never been tried. The closest to it has been the Roman Republic, Victorian England and the early USA. All three were wildly successful even with their flaws.

Our constitution removes those flaws.

Just have a military union of private property owners and law enforcement. No taxation. You can have your membership fee w.e

We have no taxation what-so-ever if you are part of a militia as you say.

Wildly successful in expanding their socialism.

How about the right to secession? Because that's what it comes down to.

53 If a reasonable population segment wishes to change or replace this document it should be done by letting them purchase an area in which they can enact their new system – creating a new nation.

''Reasonable''

Remember the living document precedent? Should make it 1 person. Plus this amendment is weak since you can just jackup the price so as to deter from purchase.

You have a system where the government owns everything and everyone is a sub-landlord. Do the reverse where land ownership is privatized and a governmental arrangement exists from that. Not a ''abdicate your freedom'' hobbesian solution.

I know, but it's a double edged sword. What if commie rebels start flaking away your precious territory and/or you end up with an undefensible nation full of "holes" in it?

I think almost no one unless groups and not holes would leave your association. So what if the commie who happens to own land leave? you could always...violate his nap if he was a danger.

I would hate to lose you over this, but I'm honestly happy to leave this decision to future councilmen, besides nations secede and form naturally anyway.

I think if it needs to happen, it will happen whether I codify more clearly it or not.

The other issue is that technically our constitution does not allow changes.
