We, the people of Arcesia, have the right to make the laws governing us.
Our strength is declining because we have slept on our right.
If elected, this will happen no longer. As Attorney-General, I will propose and work for the enactment of all the rightful and wholesome legislation we need, and enforce the constitution and all other law of the region, so that this region can truly become a "government of laws, not of men."
During my term in office, I will ask the Diet of the Realm to make the following laws:
--an act to make clear what impeachment really is, which is currently before the Diet;
--an act to define and punish offenses against the region, such as espionage and subversion;
--an act to lay out procedures for trials for such offenses.
Without simply copying what other regions are doing, I will refer to them to see what good features of their laws can be adopted here.
I will also propose amendments of the constitution. The fundamental rights of our people will not be affected. But certain governmental processes and procedures must be changed to secure greater simplicity and efficiency.
For instance, it is not clear why only the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, and President of the Diet can be impeached.
Nor is it clear what the "legality check" all cases have to pass before proceeding to court is.
With the exception of fundamental rights, the constitution was not set in stone. It can, and should, be changed, when experience has shown that certain of its articles are ineffective.
Lastly, I would like to encourage joining the Attorney-General's staff. To that end, I will introduce a bill that allows applications to be defendants in criminal cases to be submitted in the "Executive Branch Applications" thread. Hopefully, the passage of the bill will create a more well-qualified staff of defenders who will protect the rights of those accused of crimes.
