[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 2513847, member: 23094"] Actually, it does that very well. It's called [b]Neutrality[/b]. Lawful people want it because it codifies exactly what liberties are allowed - and, importantly, also designates those which are not. A better bill of rights would likely be far-reaching, much more detailed, and less subject to individual whim (like, say, that of judges who interpret it), but they'll take what they can get. Chaotic people want it because it expressly limits what outside interference is allowed in their lives. A better bill of rights would likely be more general and up to the interpretation of individuals so entrusted, but they'll take what they can get. Active Neutral people want it because there are rights that they value, and those which they don't, and they realize that there's a healthy balance between codifying exactly how something must work and leaving certain things up to individual interpretation. That way, future generations are not entirely bound by the writings of people hundreds, if not thousands, of years in the past, and individual interpretation has some healthy limits on it. A better bill of rights would be one that more actively promotes the rights they value and leaves aside those they don't, but they'll take what they can get. Passively Neutral people don't care so long as whatever bill of rights gets enacted doesn't bother them too much, while keeping the neighbors in check. [/QUOTE]
