Sovereignty outlines how we would accomplish this, but I can give you a brief explanation here. This new government will not be divided into corrupt parties all fighting with each other for a majority, but instead positions of office will be filled whenever vacant by way of vote and these newly elected politicians will do what the Declaration of Independence states: serve the people. How can we guarantee that they will do this? Because we are going to make it impossible for them to work in secrecy. We are going to make sure that every major political act is carried out openly and every small political act is thoroughly assessed by an independent court. To put it simply, if someone wishes to become a public official they will basically have to forfeit their privacy.
Now I know what you are going to ask, has this ever been done before? Yes, it was tried in Greece and achieved modest success. It was known as Athenian democracy and it called for every Greek candidate to be carefully examined before they were allowed to become an official. What made Athenian democracy unique was that these Greek officials could be immediately removed from their positions at any time if the people were unsatisfied with their performance. There was even a death penalty for any Greek official who performed poorly or betrayed the trust of the people while in office. This is also touched upon by John Acton when he said “You would hang a man of no position, like Ravaillac; but if what one hears is true, then Elizabeth asked the gaoler to murder Mary, and William III ordered his Scots minister to extirpate a clan. Here are the greater names coupled with the greater crimes. You would spare these criminals, for some mysterious reason. I would hang them, higher than Haman, for reasons of quite obvious justice; still more, still higher, for the sake of historical science.” Even Acton seen that people had a double standard when it came to punishing common criminals vs corrupt politicians.
There will be no political parties but instead politically independent individuals who have completed the four years' course of political education and therefore are qualified to be in office. Since there will be no political parties, there will be no seats divided among them. It is not that there will be a one party system, but that there will be no parties at all. Even George Washington was an out spoken critic of political parties, because he knew that they would divide and eventually destroy the government. George Washington said that political parties "always serve to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passion."
In order to stop corporate influence, we must first get rid of "corporate personhood."
those politically independant individuals will all be named karen.

If that is agreeable we'll be fine. If not then we won't be talking. I hope it is.
John Lennon would agree.

Hello Sovereigntist,
First of all, it would be nearly impossible for me to even be moved enough to read the 119 page proposal because I do not think a world government is possible.
Secondly, if our Constitution is not working, what could possibly be better?
The Constitution is so beautiful, if that isn't working then what could?

The whole idea is way too idealistic and not practical. Never gonna happen. Sounds great, needs to go into a Star Trek plot. Realistically, there is far too much hatred and religion which stands in the way. And then there is the matter of getting the currently powerful to give up their power.
I am an atheist, and I have often dreamed of a world government, but the more I have learned, the more I know why that isn't happening. Humans are indeed social animals, but not THAT social. We like our independence far too much to all be part of one big collective.
It would be beautiful, but it's fictional.
It would be interesting though, to see if that impossible dream were somehow done, if the (maybe) visitors from space who don't seem to choose to reveal themselves, would then choose to. If humans on Earth are not alone in the cosmos, and more advanced beings came here, who could blame them for NOT wanting to get involved with humans? There seems to be plenty of evidence we have been visited, but no official contact. That is probably because we are so violent, untrustworthy, and destructive. And the LAST thing we need is amazingly advanced technology. We've already nearly wiped ourselves out several times. And we appear to be in the process of destroying our own habitat. Higher intelligence would be wise to stay away unless we make some kind of huge change.
