I've been re-reading certain parts of the constitution recently, and it seems to me article VI needs a little reworking.
[quote:348rfrow]
Section 3 - Departure Ultimatums
Citizens are may not issue departure ultimatums to members of
the government. In return the government will not issue discharge
ultimatums to citizens.

I think the original aim of this section was 1) to reduce drama, and 2) to deter large landholders from using their land as a leverage.
However, this section has not stopped people from making departure ultimatums anyway, and the city has proven extremely reluctant to act on violations to this section..
As a tool to deter drama, I think we've seen that this section has proven useless.
Suggestion: remove section 3 entirely.

Section 2 - Discharge
Citizens must give a one-week notice before leaving the group
or removing land tiers. In return the city guarantees a hearing
and a one-week grace period before revoking citizenship. Citizenship may be revoked for violation of city laws or covenants, failure to uphold the constitution, or non payment of land fees.

"leaving the group or removing land tiers" doesnt make much sense anymore in our current situation. Plus we *have* revoked citizenship without a hearing for non-payment of land fees.
Suggestion, amend to:
"Citizenship may be revoked for violation of city laws or covenants, failure to uphold the constitution, or non payment of land fees."
Thoughts?
