The proposed Constitution of the United Tribes of South Sudan (UTSS)

The Forum | Offer to Politicos | Local Partners | Rules | Talk Tips | SaveTheWorld:FAQ | Getting Started


This is a proposed new Constitution for South Sudan.

The beginning section is a statement of intent that summarizes what government should do, and what it should not be allowed to do.

The last section explains what the residents of South Sudan need to do to make this Constitution the law of the land: Tribes need to hold public meetings to discuss and vote on the options in a new government, in their tribal councils, churches, and/or other large gatherings.

But since it is not safe to do that in South Sudan while a dictator cancels elections, closes newspapers, arrests if not murders reporters, and changes the Constitution that already made him a dictator, the last section also explains what Refugees need to do to create the safety necessary for South Sudan residents to hold meetings. Refugees need to discuss the options privately with their resident families as they meet with other refugees to pool information and unofficially confirm support for a new constitution. Refugees need to report these results to NGO's, investors, and other international authorities who have an interest in a stable South Sudan.

Comparison

This section is for comparing the legislative goals and beliefs of the political parties on this issue. We will list them side by side without challenging them, yet, so we an isolate where the differences lie, and which facts we need to research. Here we may also make observations about goals stated so generally that we have questions what they would look like, and observations about what facts were not addressed which perhaps should have been.

Sorting out the Facts

Here is where we will begin examining the evidence for the various alleged facts, and how the outcome of this examination clarifies which legislative goals are most consistent with reality.

Interaction/Argument

Here we begin interacting with each other, responding to the reasoning and evidence of those who disagree, and acknowledging any agreement. Here is where we practice focusing our scrutiny on the issue, not on each other. Here is where our character is tested, along with our commitment to seek the truth and to acknowledge it when evidence warrants.

In the preceding sections there shouldn’t have been much controversy, but only a hopefully objective comparison of positions. So we could edit each other’s work and our amendments should be seen as friendly, But from here on, we need to be very careful about editing the arguments of others. We can freely add our own arguments, but before we remove others’ contributions we need to be careful not to weaken their argument; the only legitimate reason to edit another’s argument would be to correct spellings, fix grammar, tighten the flow of thought, or remove redundancy (unnecessary words).
