Operating Resolution Two (2) of Eudaimonia
Eudaimonia
----(begins)----
BE IT NOTED: The pronouns "ze", "hir" and "hirs" shall for the purposes of this document describe any person or thing henceforth mentioned or implied; and shall be understood according to the context in which used.
Preamble:
The fundamental goal of any emancipated community of peoples is the practice of freedom. By "freedom" is meant the irrevocable right of individual persons to endeavour for personal development and fulfillment by any means they may desire to employ, on the sole condition that such empolyment does not threaten the equal right of freedom existing for any and all other persons. Freedom, by its nature, may not exist unless existing equally for all persons.
Pursuant with the practice of freedom is the existence of a functioning democracy, whereby each adult person has an exactly equal proportion of influence over the affairs and policies of their community as compared to any other adult person.
Be it then resolved that Eudaimonia (henceforth also referred to with the abbreviation "Eud.") shall always, before all else, endeavour to respect, protect and facilitate freedom for all of its members.
In order to protect and facilitate freedom, the People of Eudaimonia do hereby enact this following resolution regarding the operation of the government of the Eudaimonia.
