Power of Sovereignty


This one was a favorite, I designed this class to teach about sovereignty and what can happen when you surrender your sovereignty. 

Each individual in the class has 2 coins (you can not create more coins from nothing nor can you steel coins)

The person with the most coins at any given time makes all of the rules for the world whatever rule they make must happen.

There is an army of invaders coming to take over your town so you as a people must make some rules for raising an army, keeping the food and livestock safe, and protecting your town. Only the person with the most coins can make laws.

You can choose to give one of your coins to someone but you can only give it to someone through a contract signed by both people which the moderator will keep and you can’t take your coin back with out the consent of who you signed a contract with.

To make a law the person with the most coins must submit it to the moderator in writing and the moderator will put it on the board and it will become a law. The only law that can not be made is to take anyone’s coin without their consent.

Roles you can hand out 

1.You are friends with the general of the Army coming you have agreed to let him come into the town and take it over if he will give you the power to rule the town after he comes. You don’t want the town to make any laws to protect the town you want either to keep your coins and take others or you want to just keep others from taking your coins.

2.You are a concerned citizen if the army comes they will take everyone’s stuff and put them in slavery get as many of coins as possible to lead your fellow citizens.

3.You want all the power to yourself you don’t think that anyone but you can really lead the people to safety.

4.You must decided what is best to help your city to be safe you can give your coins away as much as you want or keep them for yourself.
