As for the obligations of the elders, there is not much controversy. They are nothing more than the civil obligations in the general constitution: abide by the constitution and laws, maintain national security, etc. The program does not stipulate that the elders have the obligation to perform military service. Instead, an additional article is added, that is, when the elders are serving in the military,
You have the obligation to take up arms to defend the crossing group when necessary.
At this time, Lin Chuanqing asked to speak. He proposed a motion: requesting that the elders' right to hold weapons be included in the common program as a sacred and inviolable right.
"Weapons are the last resort for senators to resist tyranny and defend their rights. No one or any institution has the right to deprive or restrict the power of senators to hold and use weapons. Otherwise, it is intended to be dictatorial!" Lin Chuanqing said loudly, "I demand that this article be
Included in the "Common Program"."
Most of the attendees didn't know why Lin Chuanqing specifically raised this point and made such a fuss about writing it into the "Common Program". Isn't it now that everyone carries a gun? A pistol for each person is never left behind.
Of course, the North American branch and others knew the significance of Lin Chuanqing's proposal - only when the public holds weapons and enjoys the right to use weapons, the state organs cannot monopolize violence, giving the people the possibility to resist tyranny. This is typical
American democratic thinking.
This motion immediately received strong support from the North American branch and firearms enthusiasts. Since there was no objection, the motion was quickly passed and this article was included in the common program.
The only dispute occurred over the tax payment clause. The program clearly stipulated that the senators have the obligation to pay taxes. Some people rose up in opposition, believing that this would cause the future government to exploit and plunder the senators by paying taxes. The supporter side believed that: the future senators
The political and economic power they hold is unimaginable. If the power of tax exemption is still given to the elders, a huge amount of wealth will be deposited in the elder class, which will be extremely harmful to the stability of the entire social economy and social order.
The pros and cons have once again entered into a debate on this issue. Those who support taxation are mainly finance and financial professionals represented by Yi Fan, while those who oppose it are diverse and include everyone.
For the masses, most people believe that for the long-term stability of the empire, the tax obligations that the senators should bear cannot be exempted. However, they are worried because of their experience in another time and space - something often contains noble and reasonable ideas at the beginning.
The purpose will eventually become a means of gathering.
The debate on the issue of taxation lasted for a long time, and finally Yifan proposed a compromise clause. It stipulated that senators enjoyed national treatment in indirect taxes, but direct taxes levied on senators must be reviewed by the Senate, one tax per tax. Only in the first time
The general meeting passed the inheritance tax exemption and left it unchanged: after the death of the patriarch, half of the shares held by him in the Cross Group will be nationalized.
When the discussion on the rights and obligations of the elders was about to end, Du Wen suddenly asked to speak. Ma Jia thought, I don't know what this speech is about.
Du Wen walked up to the podium with a particularly firm and powerful step. He discovered that Du Wen, who usually wore training uniforms and had a masculine, proletarian appearance, was actually wearing a fitted women's jacket and his hair was neatly combed.
She even had a colorful hairpin stuck in her face, and her face seemed to be lightly powdered and lipsticked. If you look closely, she looks a bit feminine.
"Comrades -" she spoke out of habit, and as soon as the hammer on her waistcoat hit, she corrected herself, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I propose that among the powers of the senators, associations and demonstrations should be included,
Freedom to demonstrate.”
This proposal caused a wave of waves among the participants. This kind of power was so cliché that no one took it seriously. In the common program drawn up by the drafting group, there were only freedom of speech, press, assembly, and association, and the last two
was deleted.
The explanation of the drafting group as to why "demonstration" was deleted is because the senators do not need the power to make such demands: since every senator has a place in the Senate, he or she can just propose his or her group's demands directly in the Senate.
, there is absolutely no need to use the method of ordinary people directly expressing their demands.
This is not the case. The original intention of the Law Club is to use this method to eliminate the possibility of time-travelers engaging in street politics. Dong Shiye reminded Ma Jia that the possibility of getting past it is extremely small. Even if they can get past it, a formal rule will be formulated in a few years.
I'm afraid it will have to be included in the constitution. But Majia decided to give it a try.
"At least in the first few years of the development of our group, we can eliminate the possibility of engaging in street politics. After these few years, when the stall has grown, no one is interested in this stuff." Ma Jia sighed, "The conditions in the first few years
It is limited, and the public is particularly easy to be incited."
Of course Du Wen knew the answer the drafting team gave to the inquirer on BBS - she had done a lot of homework on this issue. She pointed out that most constitutions in the world listed "demonstration" as a basic citizen
Powers, including cross-border groups, should not be an exception. As for the drafting group's claim that these powers are not needed with the Senate as the highest authority that can be directly appealed to, it is wrong.
Du Wen's tone was very calm, and her words did not include the habitual citation of scriptures or listing of large numbers. It was completely different from the sharp speeches she had made in meetings and other public places in the past - this made Ma Jia secretly puzzled.
"...The Senate is not in session every day. It always has adjournments. And based on the situation of our cross-border group, more and more comrades will be dispatched to various places in the future.
There are fewer and fewer comrades in Lingao, and there is a limit on the number of people who can convene a general meeting to pass effective resolutions. This means," Du Wen emphasized, "the Senate can only do so during a limited number of days in a year.
On weekdays, we cannot wait even a minute to protect the legitimate rights and interests of our people!"
The time-traveling public was originally not interested in Du Wen's speech, thinking that she was going to talk about doctrines or talk about the protection of women's rights. However, this speech made many people open their eyes. That's right! If it hadn't been for Du Wen,
When Wen brought it up, she was about to slide over! There was a buzz of discussion in the venue.
Cheng Mo had been waiting for this moment. He immediately raised his hand and shouted: "I second the proposal!", and then many people also raised their hands. Ma Jia noticed that Shan Liang raised his hand with an unobtrusive gesture.
The hand asked for secondment - a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ma Jia was helpless. From the moment he raised his hand, he realized: Du Wen and Shan Liang were colluding! Shan Liang, who started his career in street politics, obviously did not want his most powerful weapon of struggle to be cancelled. And he did not come forward to fight for it.
So as not to reveal his whereabouts. This guy is really smart.
The answer was soon revealed. Du Wen's motion did not receive any opposition. Even the people in the Law Club could not think of enough convincing reasons to oppose Du Wen's motion. So the motion was passed quickly. Then,
Du Wen continued to propose: In order to implement "association" among the basic rights of elders, a special "Association Law" should be formulated.
The conference then voted on the proposal and passed it overwhelmingly.
"I have brought the draft of the "Societies Law" to the general meeting for review." Du Wen took advantage of the victory and handed a document bag to a supervisory committee member.
Du Wen's Association Law is not very new in terms of its provisions. After a quick browse, Ma Jia found that it was a direct copy of the Austrian Association Law, but there were important modifications in some places. The most important point is that the cross-border group has the obligation to provide the association with
Funding and venue support.
Shan Liang jumped out again to second the motion. Not only him, but also Cheng Mo and others also spoke in succession to support the passage of this "Society Law". At this point, the Law Club has been completely powerless about this. Under the noise of Shan Liang and his group,
With the encouragement, the "Societies Law" was quickly passed in principle. Of course, there will be certain modifications to the legal provisions in the subsequent legislative review meeting, but the overall direction cannot be reversed.
At this time, Ma Jia fully understood that Du Wen's real demand was here - she was not interested in the power of demonstrations at all. He was trying to get the Women's Federation out of the way! Yes, the Women's Federation should be a social organization in essence, not
What kind of state agency? Du Wen obviously realized that her direct request to establish a women's federation was unlikely to be approved at the conference. She achieved her goal through such a roundabout way.
Then, it comes to how to ensure the distribution of benefits. This is a very sensitive issue. Although the stock dividend system and the allowance and welfare system have been established at the first plenary meeting, this system did not have perfect details in the past, and it was messed up.
It's too complicated, and many people don't understand it clearly and have huge opinions.
The meeting first reiterated that no changes would be made to the original stock dividend system. It also gave an explanatory explanation of the originally ambiguous source of dividend withdrawals - "the total income from the profits of commercial organizations and the spoils of military organizations".
It is not difficult to understand "profits of commercial institutions": ranging from the profits of Leizhou Sugar Company to the 20% dividends paid by women's cooperatives, these are all profits. This time, profits are clearly defined: refers to enterprises
The "net profits turned over" are left from the annual net profits to fund the expansion of operations and production. The spoils of war for military agencies are limited to captured gold, silver, treasures and luxury goods - a catalog will be announced for specific varieties.
Dividends are calculated once a year and are calculated using the legal currency of the group - currently grain circulation coupons. The undefined "voucher" system is abolished. Since the total amount of dividends from all the veterans may be very huge, once put into the market
It will immediately cause the collapse of the monetary system, so it is stipulated that everyone's dividend account is temporarily frozen and cannot be used for consumption or cash withdrawal. The frozen account will pay a certain amount of interest.
