We live in a society that must have some guidelines in which to operate. Below please find ten commandments for a democratic society. If we use these commandments as a guideline, we can be assured of maintaining our right to choose, our right to freedoms, and to keep a peaceful and productive society.
1. Freedom to choose.
a. Speech
b. Vote
c. Sex Orientation
d. Education
e. Religion
The government does not have the right or power to stop anyone from speaking their mind, which includes political beliefs, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation/preferences. This also includes the right to abortion. If you are not one who believes in abortion you do not have the right to stop those that do believe in abortion. You do have the right to speak out about abortion, however, you do not, in any way, shape, or form, have the right to stop others from having an abortion performed. To the contrary, one who does believe in abortion does not have the right to force those against abortion to have an abortion. Abortion is a moral judgement of the individual. Government does not have the right to cast individual's moral judgments on others by making those moral judgments the law of the land.
2. Freedom to vote in political elections.
a. Everyone who is a citizen of their respective democratic countries has the right
to vote in an election. This right should be given automatically to
anyone and everyone who is a citizen and reaches the legal age to vote in their
respective country.
3. Individuals are supreme.
a. Corporations do not have the same rights as an individual. Society is made up,
first and foremost, of individuals. Corporations are the result of individuals
banning together in the pursuit of wealth and therefore have no rights, only
individuals have rights. Wealth cannot be used to gain favor where individuals
must make decisions.
b. Corporations or any other company does not have the right to tell an employee
how or what to believe. Companies do not have the right to conflict with the
beliefs of an individual. The individual's beliefs will always prevail.

sexual, or political beliefs at any time before or after employment.
d. All companies do have the right to ask an individual their age, whether it be
only for statistical purposes or any other purpose, before or after employment.

according to Federal age statistics nationally. Age discrimination is illegal and
will be punished severely.

taxation.

taxes.
c. Tax exemptions are illegal.
5. Health care equally for all.
a. Health care is a right for all individuals.
