Representative Democracy
Majority of the people want freedom, a type of government that will enforce the pursuit
of happiness. Representative Democracies have become popular in regions where the
number of citizens is so great that direct representation would have the potential of
becoming overly complicated or bogged down. By choosing a representative democracy
we know our government will both establish a national government structure and legally
ensure each citizen the right to life, liberty, and the individual pursuit of happiness.

Preamble
We the people of Unified Alliances set forth the impregnable
rights undeniable to the public. In order to sustain the absolute
rights to our citizens we as a government will promote the security
of our liberty and welfare but when and if taken to far only the
people can secure those rights guaranteed for them and their heirs.
