A.3. Failure to Fulfill a Civic Duty

Failure to Fulfill a Civic Duty is a civic offense, not a crime.

A unanimous jury must find, beyond a reasonable doubt, that:

1. The Citizen failed, on at least two occasions, to perform specific Civic Duties named in this Charter; and

2. The Citizen acted with malicious intent, negligence beyond mere oversight (reckless disregard for a known duty), or recalcitrant intent (deliberate refusal to comply with lawful authority).

Upon adjudication that the Citizen Failed to Fulfill a Civic Duty, the Citizen’s Civic powers to vote and hold federal office are automatically suspended. No other penalty or sanction may be levied.

Affected Citizens may petition a federal district court no earlier than five years after final adjudication for restoration of Civic powers, subject to the good-standing and rehabilitative criteria set out in this Charter.
