Guys, try to guess the 10 constitutions that I often use as inspiration to write my draft constitution. One of them is a historical constitution from a socialist state that no longer exist today. Come on guys, this is fun!

The Framers Had a Plan to Protect Us From Elon Musk

Text from article:
While this drama is spilling out in the press, it’s legally relevant. Multiple challenges to Musk and the actions of his Department of Government Efficiency allege his vast authority violates the Appointments Clause, one of the Constitutions key anti-corruption measures. Under this clause, which the framers crafted to prevent the kingly practice of handing jobs and authority to unaccountable allies, any officer of the United States must be formally nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Moreover, such appointees must fill a role created by Congress. Musk’s exercise of vast authority, at least four lawsuits allege, is unconstitutional, as he was neither confirmed by the Senate nor is he serving in any role Congress created. “You don’t have to stretch the text very far to see that there is a problem under [the Appointments Clause in] Article Two,” says Jed Shugerman, a law professor and historian at Boston University School of Law.

C'est la tendance mondiale actuelle d' #attaquer les #constitutions , les #droits des #femmes et des #LGBT+ 🤮 #NotInMyName #France

Si vous êtes contre l'une, ou l'autre de ces #libertés, il faut le dire clairement, ayez au moins le courage de vos " #opinions" ( #anti- #constitutionnelles, au passage) nauséabondes, que tout le monde sache clairement quel est le combat.

The art of finding the lesson

Trumps #arselick of #tyrant #dictator Putin is a great #wakeup call. Maybe future #constitutions will contain a clause preventing leaders from #fucking their own people.

Drafting a constitution is fun. I am satisfied with my progress in drafting my constitution. Just wait until it's finished, hehe.

"Since 1787, written #constitutions have become a common tool by which elites coordinate to make large-scale changes to their political and legal systems. But they are by no means necessary to do so." https://www.liberalcurrents.com/an-open-society-if-you-can-keep-it/

@aaronm @bookhistodons @medievodons how detailed do you want the descriptions? There’s a Constitution and ordo for the women’s house of st Catherine’s in Augsburg in this set, for example — or do you want formal titles? I can do a couple of German text IDs I the morning…

Following up on the very useful article on mastodon and federation and contracts, etc. etc. Terminology questions (if I may) where would #constitutions and the idea of a #polis fit in — if at all? And I've been using the word "collectivity" for any type of group... is that OK?? Thanks! @robertwgehl @dzulli @ademoor @hrheingold
