Declaration of Independence
We the children, in order to form a nation of our vision, hereby establish our nation of Fidelitas, which means "Loyalty". We believe as our own independent nation that we can create a utopian society better than that of the United States of America. We believe that it is our duty to establish our utopian nation for our right of freedom and independence.
We have based our form of ruling government in Fidelitas on the philosophy of Locke and Hobbes. Hobbes believed in ruling through fear, and Locke believed that everyone should have equal rights. We will have our government set up as a direct democracy in the strong belief that this will be the best form of government.
Our freedoms will be based on that of the wolves, meaning that everyone has a part in the pack and in this utopia. We will include freedoms of property, speech, religion, assembly, petition, and voting. We believe that these freedoms will create a society ruled with peace, equality, and unity.
We believe that we can create a society that is better than the modern U.S.A. for several reasons. We believe that the current U.S.A. does not have a constitutional republic is not the best way of having a set up government. We believe that by giving the people of our nation the freedom and right to have their own laws voted on by them, the people will be more alert about and involved in the government and therefore making the government the best system for the people, by the people.
Fidelitas Animal
We chose the wolf for our animal because Fidelitas is about loyalty and teamwork and the wolf symbolizes both of those things. Wolves roam in packs which are extremely based on teamwork and there is also symbolism of Hobbes and Locke in a wolf pack as well. There is one wolf who is the leader and who brings the rest of the pack together which is Hobbes. But if the wolves do not like who their leader is they can overthrow the leader and place a new one in their placed which is Locke. The wolves are loyal to each other as well and they have each other’s backs which is what we want in our society.
