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.
Name Explanation
We chose Fidelitas as our name because it means loyalty in Latin and we think that loyalty is an important trait to have in a Utopian society. You need to be loyal to your pack which promotes teamwork and everyone has their role in society. Hobbes and Locke both promoted loyalty, Hobbes when he said that there should be one leader who is all powerful, so he thinks that the people should be loyal to him. Locke promoted loyalty because he thought that the people should make the decisions together and be able to overrule the government so the people need to be loyal to each other in making their decisions and trust that everyone will make the best decision and not make decisions based on favoritism.
