A DRAFT CONSTITUTION FOR SCOTLAND INTRODUCTORY AND EXPLANTATORY NOTES ...

The “constitutional” debate in Scotland has focused mainly on the relationship between Scotland and the rest of the UK. Little serious thought has so far been given to the design of a future Scottish Constitution in the event of a “Yes” vote in a referendum on independence.
∗ Having had no experience of democracy under a written Constitution, Scotland is “constitutionally illiterate”, not just at mass level but also amongst political elites.
∗ After independence there will be many practical problems to deal with, and good constitutional design is likely to be forgotten in the rush to set up embassies etc.

The Constitutional Commission is a charity registered in Scotland for the promotion of democratic citizenship and for constitutional education and research, founded in 2005 by John Drummond (former Convenor of the Independence Convention) and Kenyon Wright (former Convenor of the Scottish Constitutional Convention).

Constitution of Scotland?, "A Constitution for a Free Scotland" - in editable Wikipedia?, "Having had no experience of democracy under a written Constitution, Scotland is “constitutionally illiterate”, not just at mass level but also amongst political elites."
Hmmm ... Riff with the Wikipedia version?
Co-create Scotland's developing Constitution thanks to Wiki, while other drafts are emerging too - amazing!,
How best to contribute eloquence and further inspiration?,
Is there a computer app for new constitutions' writing?
*
What are some of the substantive issues ?
How to add care and peace to this, as well?
*
Wiki as enhancing Democratic processes - and even re the open co-writing of new constitutions for new potential emergent nation states?
*
And for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ... in the Scotland's new constitution ...
*
In what ways could we use information technology to place side-by-side for wiki writing, the US Constitution, with Scotland's and Catalonia's emergent constitutions?

In what ways could we bring together a Scottish constitution specifically for virtual Scotland paralleling actual on-the-ground Scotland?

Hello Heartsong from near Stanford.
How are you? My "Naked Harbin Ethnography" is now on the virtual shelves of Walmart - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/10/giant-pumpkins-wuaspress-is-glad-to.html - with "virtual shelf" link in this Halloween blog entry.
There's a sound people sometimes makes re Walmart that's like one's going thru a timespacezone warp change on drugs ... ~ W~a~l~m~a~r~t ~ but I suppose it's good ... re mass market ... not that any have sold, but that's another story :)
Jaima, Scott!
