Greetings your Honors. I come to you today seeking judgement on a contradiction in the Mount Augusta constitution that is preventing the vote of my client, /u/Orange-wizard from being tallied in the most recent election. I wish to get a declaration on whether or not he is eligible to vote in this election. My case is as follows:
- A person shall gain voter registration three (3) days after posting their sign image in an active voter registration thread [I.A.iii.a].
- For a few years now the right to vote was abridged specifically for election threads to extend this waiting period to 7 days [I.B.ii.e]. If I remember correctly this is a law that originates from Civcraft 2.0.
- According to the Bill of Rights “...the right of every registered voter to vote shall [not] be denied or abridged by anyone.” [MtA BoR XIII]. I believe this law was added more recently with the addition of the concept of Citizenship.
Therefore I can only interpret this as a conflict of laws. Under the law conflicts section of the constitution the later law takes precedence over the prior law, and furthermore the bill of rights supersedes any law that would conflict with it regardless [I.C.i].
Due to the relatively recent amendment of the bill of rights the 7 day clause is unconstitutional and should have no bearing on whether my client, or anyone in a similar situation, should be able to vote in an election.
Thank you for taking the time to read this your Honors, and I hope you all have a great day.
