Post subject:  Renewal of the Indoles Carta and Old Laws

So due to all of the Indoles Carta and the old world laws being readily available, there is much work to due in terms of reincorporating them into modern law. All of the Indoles Carta and Laws could never properly be discussed if we did them all at once. Nothing would ever get accomplished as people would continually argue different sections and confuse the flow of debate. So I propose we take a few sections a week and smooth them out to fit our current legal system. This will take a while, maybe a couple months, but it will allow us to thoroughly discuss all of the points that need addressing and create dedicated discussion.

Now as a few of our higher members will be attending a bachelor escapade in for the next couple of days, I will wait to post the discussion until the start of next week so the full community is included in the voting and discussion.

The below section will be updated to highlight what current topics are up for discussion and voting.

IV. Judicial

V. Contractual Law

To place a counter point, there isn't really a lot of debate at all actually. No one seems to be disagreeing with much now that we agreed to get rid of emperor powers. We could do it one section at a time as suggested, but I'm not sure it would be any faster.

Once nick posts his suggested emperor laws, I have a suspicion things will move pretty smoothly. Since there is almost no major debate, people should also feel free to post in the existing threads. Again, almost no debate so far so dunno if we need yet another thread.

Also, shouldn't this be in 'proposed legislation'? Or is it here because it is sort of like an announcement thingy?

Either or, this was just a counter proposal. Don't mind me. Either process is super fine.
