Res – Article I for people

Resolved

That the first Article of this Constitution be of the rights and protections of the people. The relevant government entities defined in later articles can be very briefly defined prior to the Article once they are determined and so as to avoid confusion.

Notes

Despite the first constitution starting “We the People”, it largely ignored them until the Bill of Rights was adopted. This seems like a major oversight and tends to diminish the fact that without the people, this paper has no use.
