Mars Rights

Here in the United States on Earth, we have a system that protects the citizens. Its' called the Bill of Rights. If we were to colonize Mars, here are some theoretical rights for the citizens of Mars to have.

  1. Freedom of Speech - Freedom of Speech is almost a necessary in today's United States where people say plenty of things that may get them arrested in other countries.
  2. Freedom of the Press - If there ever is a media distribution system the press or the internet on Mars, it would be important that people can freely discuss topics.
  3. Water and Oxygen Provided Freely - Oxygen and water on Mars shouldn't be sold as it is a basic need for survival.
  4. Right to a Spacesuit - If a citizen of Mars wants to roam the planet and not be contained in a building, they should be able to do so freely
  5. Due Process - Citizens of Mars should go through the same process that affects citizens of the United States on Earth
  6. Right to Trial on Earth - If a citizen of Mars is being charged with a crime, their court hearing should take place on Earth
  7. Right to Communicate with Earth - If a citizen of Mars wants to communicate with people on Earth, they should be allowed to.
  8. Right to Return - A citizen of Mars cannot forcefully be sent back to Mars if they are coming to Earth legally
  9. No Excessive Bail - If a citizen of Mars is charged with a crime, a bail has to be fair to their punishment and cannot include travel time between Mars and Earth
  10. Right to Remain a Citizen - If you were once a citizen of Mars, you can return at anytime you wish

  5. What if you want to have a trial on Mars? Do trials all have to take place on Earth? Does the person have to physically go to Earth to be tried?
