Six person groups

For those of you in six person groups:

1) The form and powers of government

Issues taken up in this section should include (but are not limited to) the branch(es) of government, the powers they hold vis a vis each other, the powers they hold vis a vis the citizens, the method through which members of each branch are chosen (and removed) and the rules for how the government makes decisions.

Instead of 1-5, I suggest you turn topic 1, above, into 1a and 1b. 1a would focus on the form government would take--how many branches, how they ought to be selected, how big they ought to be, how long they ought to serve, etc. 1b would focus on the powers of government--what government in general can and cannot do. 1b will have to work closely with 1a, since at some point he'll need to address the powers of each branch of government created by 1a. You'll also want to coordinate with #2 and #3 on the rights of individuals and groups, since you'll need to be careful to not give the government powers that directly violate those rights.

If you have another idea about how to add a section you'd prefer to pursue, that would probably be fine as well. Just let me know as soon as you've decided on it to get my approval and direction.
