Wellspring: Principles.

Prologue

This constitution is a broad template of sorts which is meant to be adapted and adopted by a new era of nations. Its name is Wellspring -- it aims to be a wellspring from which oases of reason, reality, egoism and individualism will flourish in a world of collectivism and coercion.

Wellspring, hereafter "WS", exists to improve upon the mistakes of the preceding American republic and form a more perfect union. WS is intended to establish a free market, minarchist, constitutional republic (i.e, emphatically not a democracy) with a strong bias against wealth redistribution. Where unclear, the text is to be interpreted to favour as little redistribution as possible, preferring always none if that is an option.

Interpretation

WS shall always be interpreted in an originalist fashion consistent with the doctrine of Antonin Scalia (1936-2016). In order to assist with its interpretation, each file also includes an Apologia to explain what the authors were thinking at the time of its origination.

Symbols, celebrations and rituals.

Motto: The individual outranks the collective. Pledge of Allegiance: "I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never attempt to force, threaten or defraud another indeperson into living for me."

Republic Holidays: Each of the cornerstone principles of the republic shall have its own holiday to keep it in remembrance. Working on a republic holiday incurs no penalty.
