I decided to make a Minecraft Bill of Rights that could be used in tandem with any Constitution put into place by a Server owner.
I made these while extremely tired and under the influence of distraction, so any amendments are both accepted and encouraged. This was mostly a project for fun, so I'm sorry if anyone is offended or upset about it.

The Minecraft Bill of Rights

without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.

It was literally copied straight from the US Bill of Rights and altered, so not really. I do intend to create a Minecraft Constitution next.
That's the Declaration of Independence, buddy.
Yes, I know that. I was being sarcastic and meant did you want any signers. :tongue.gif:
