Friends and neighbors, During the discussion to create the Fort's Rules and Orders, we agreed to call upon one another to enumerate our rights as citizens of Fort Triumph. This is an important step to protect one another not against what is, but against what might be. The citizens and members of the Fort are the foundation of our region, and it is in the best interests of Fort Triumph and its future to protect those within it. I invite the citizens in our grand Town Hall to begin the the discussion.

I'd like the right to continue my Very Honest Business. I figure that all depends on that fancy plea deal you just took today, don't it?

I don't have much an opinion on this. TBH I can't think of any rights that I wouldn't already presume to be naturally given. Anyway if we do figure out a list what is the mechanism that protects these rights and what recourse does the player have if their rights are violated by someone?

So these sorts of assurances were a staple of regions such as 10000 Islands and Renegade Islands Alliance who manage to include a declaration of citizen rights in each of their primary documents since their founding.
RIA's current constitution, Article IV:
10KI's Constitution, Article V

Jack has a solid point in that there is no mechanism to insure these rights outside of the benevolence of the regional administration and there is no recourse if a nation feels like these rights have been violated. Can the Marshals be challenged? I hold no belief that anyone in the region currently nor that any future prominent member of our regional structure will violate what we consider to be the unalienable rights of our members. I also sympathize with the Mayor's point that the citizens should be the one to declare what their rights are and have them not be dependent on the Marshals to uphold.
If we are to add such legislation to our books, we would need to come up with a mechanism to protect these rights.
