Eight Articles on how intelligent systems should treat people. Every line is written from public answers rather than by a committee, and every line says which question produced it.

How the Constitution is written
  1. One question per Article, four positions

    Each Article has a founding question with four positions, and "Not sure" for anyone who has not decided. A question tests one boundary of the Article, not all of it.

  2. Shares only when they mean something

    Below 20 positions an Article is still forming: we show counts, not percentages. Every share is of current participants who took a position, not of the world. "Not sure" is counted, but never as a position.

  3. Lines come after the evidence

    No line is written in advance. Once 20 people have taken a position on a question, the position most of them chose is proposed as the line, in its own words, and marked as not adopted. Only a person adopts it, in public, with its question named. Every line on this page names the question it came from.

  4. Then a layer deeper

    Once a founding question has 20 positions, a deeper question on the same Article can open. The first line says whether; the next ones ask on what terms. They are asked the same way, and every one is approved by a person before anyone sees it.
