| Legislatures |
|---|
| I agree that a legislature’s authority should stem directly from the consent of the people it represents. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
| Legislatures should maintain transparent and secure election processes where all factions can observe and audit vote counting. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
| I believe that voting systems should reflect the diverse preferences of constituents in a proportionate manner. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
| A politically neutral Speaker and independent offices are crucial for fair legislative proceedings. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |

| Governments |
|---|
| I believe governmental authority should derive directly from the people’s consent, ensuring faithful representation of their will. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
| Legislatures should be able to delegate their executive authority either to proportionally selected committees or to elected executives. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |

| I believe judiciaries should operate independently to uphold constitutional order and protect individual rights. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |

| Individuals should have the right to challenge laws they believe infringe upon their constitutional rights. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
| When a law is found unconstitutional, the legislature should have a set timeframe to amend it or override the judiciary’s decision before judges adjust the law themselves. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
| (Optional) In your own words, how does having multiple judges and a neutral appointment or election process help ensure fair and independent rulings? | |
| Jurisdictions |
|---|
| I believe a jurisdiction’s authority should come solely from the consent of its population. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
| Jurisdictions should respect each other’s boundaries and only change them if the affected population agrees by a supermajority. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
| I support having both population-based and equally apportioned seats in a legislature when a jurisdiction includes smaller constituent jurisdictions. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
| Jurisdictions should work together in establishing uniform procedures (e.g., taxes, defense, public goods) while allowing local control where appropriate. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
| I agree that the most encompassing jurisdiction should regulate currency, oversee extra-jurisdictional trade, and manage military resources with a supermajority vote. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
| (Optional) In your own words, how does balancing local self-governance with overarching coordination help maintain fairness and constitutional order among multiple jurisdictions? | |
| Constitutional Order |
|---|
| I believe that the core principles of a fair constitution are universally applicable to all jurisdictions by nature. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
| A government should be reformed or replaced if it is disabled, destroyed, or actively countermanding a fair constitution. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |

| If local jurisdictions cannot organize new elections, it is appropriate for an encompassing jurisdiction to step in and facilitate them. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
| I agree that individuals should form new jurisdictions to uphold fair constitutional principles if no existing government can do so. | Neither Agree nor Disagree |
