When each country adopted their current constitution

[empirearchives]

“An important document completely overlooked by those who have studied Napoleon in German literature is, for example, the Napoleonic constitution of December 13, 1799, which received the largest vote of any of the Revolutionary constitutions. It was the first legal instrument to implement universal sufferage. It also, as had the Constitution of 1789, assured religious toleration and extended civil liberties to the Jewish minority.”

— Otto W. Johnston, The Emergence of the Napoleonic Cult in German Literature

From the footnotes: The decree of Dec. 24. 1789 had also granted civil liberties to Jews; however, the Constitution of 1791 and of 1795 imposed property qualifications on voters, while the democratic Constitution of 1793 was never implemented.

As of Jan 21st, 2025, a full copy of the constitution is no longer available on whitehouse.gov. I feel like this is a good time to remind everyone that the biggest threat to authoritarianism and facism is a well educated and informed population. Inform yourself and fight.

a copy of the document can still be found on the archives website. I think now is probably a good time to read it if you haven't and download it, incase it is erased from here as well.

Virginia’s Democratic-led Senate on Tuesday passed constitutional amendments on abortion and voting rights that were quickly lambasted by Republicans who could use the issues as the party tries to regain ground in November’s statewide elections.

The Senate passed the resolutions in two party-line votes. In a 24-15 bipartisan vote, senators also passed a resolution repealing a now-defunct ban on same-sex marriage backed by Sen. Adam Ebbin, the first openly gay lawmaker elected to the legislature. The Democratic-led Virginia House of Delegates passed similar legislation on all three issues earlier this month.

“We will enshrine these rights to our Constitution, ensure our freedoms are no longer at risk, and hand the power back to the people,” said Democratic Sen. Jennifer Boysko, who sponsored the abortion resolution.

Drafting a constitution is fun. I am satisfied with my progress in drafting my constitution. Just wait until it's finished, hehe.

A comic I drew about leaving the Mormon church.

Can also apply to other things. Ex. constitutional originalism in the US

Zooming with Cottage Neighbors

April 2, 2024 I push the join button on Zoom and face 18 somber people on the screen, members of our cottagers’ association. Nobody speaks. With a look of expectation on their faces, they appear serious. I ask: can you hear me? Some say yes. I grab my glass of wine while Kathy brings our dinner at 7 pm. We decided to eat our dinner during the Zoom call. Looking at the Zoom participants, I ask…
