Common Law Act

Common Law Act


Citizenship in Tyre Tangiere carries with it rights and responsibilities. A Citizen's rights, as recognized under the Common Law, are protected by the Constitution. This means that your fundamental rights to life, liberty, and property are protected. You cannot be forced to surrender your rights, your liberty, or your property except as a punishment for a crime for which you have been convicted by a lawful Common Law jury. No private person has the right to compel you to perform any act contrary to your conscience. You are free to conduct your affairs in whatever manner you see fit, so long as you do not infringe on anyone else's rights or property.

However, the right to pursue whatever aims a person wishes also means that they are completely responsible for thier own actions, and must answer to any damages they cause anyone. If a Citizen harms anyone in any way, then they must make full reparations for the damage that they have caused. For example, if a Citizen drives 90 miles an hour down the road, that is his right. But if that citizen damages another person or their property in so doing, then he is personally liable and responsible to make reparations to the other parties involved. If there is a dispute as to whether the Citizen caused the damage in question, then the matter must be heard by a lawful Common Law Jury. The Citizen must make full restitution for the damages that he has caused, and is subject to the decision of a jury of his peers. Thus, each Citizen is free to live his life as he sees fit, but he must also respect the rights of every other Citizen and never infringe on those rights -- or be willing to face the consequences of his actions.
