Proposal #93: Freedom Act was presented to the Senate of Yamatai by Senator Hamatsuki in YE 34 where it did not pass due to lack of support after about a month of being open for discussion. The main concerns regarding this proposal was the definition of “Freedom” being too vague and that other Yamataian Laws establish the rights that go with a sapient individual.

1. To define Freedom legally within the Yamatai Star Empire.
2. To establish the rights that go with being a sapient individual.

1. Define Freedom

2. Establish Fundamental Free-Sapient Rights

Freedom is a state for which we all strive; as an empire, as a people, and inevitably as individuals. It is important, therefore to safeguard our freedom and our pursuit of it, we must define it and our rights as free-sapients.

Thus, the author, Senator Hamatsuki, contends that his proposed definition of freedom is the most practical in application. The definition is not, however, an excuse to flout the law. However, it, and the corresponding fundamental rights of a sapient being, are a statement of the pre-existing motivation to attain freedom and life.

The Right to Life is self explanatory, and justifies the Right to Self-Preservation by its very existence. The Right to Pursue Freedom is also justified by the Right to Life, by the very definition of said right.

Direct attention to: “Life is a process of self-generated and self-sustaining action.” It can (and is) argued that the Right to Life and the definition of Freedom are the most important part of the bills, and these two items should be carefully weighed.

To further explain the phrase we have directed attention to: “I need water, therefore I obtain water.” or “I need a breathable atmosphere) therefore I obtain a breathable atmosphere, and continue to breathe it.” A more detailed explanation can be provided, but I believe the self-generated action (only I can know, decide, and obtain air, water, etc. and not poison etc. or not obtain at all) and self-sustaining action (I continue to breathe, etc..) are easily and readily available to observe. This process's existence is irrefutable: merely observe life.

“The floor is open,” Hamatsuki said, and sat down.
