Dear Sir,
I submit below my views on the future Constitution of this Country.

I believe that it is very important to have a Federation of States with each State drawing up its own Constitution with certain autonomous rights.A very good guide is that of the United States of America which has existed for hundreds of years without any major change.

Policing should be the responsibility of each individual State whist the Defence Force should be controlled nationally.

The official language should be English and should be compulsory at all schools which will ensure that the entire population will be universally compatible in
Business,Aviation and in many other walks of life.

Human rights should be entrenched in the Constitution except for the death penalty which should be re-introduced to prevent the wanton killing of innocent people.

The Judiciary should be independent of the State and selected on a non party basis.

Yours Faithfully
