CONGRESS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
​




A BILL TO

Penalize Treason with a Public Execution




​


The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:


​
PART I — PRELIMINARIES

1. Short Title and Enactment

(3) This Act has been authored by Representative eatean.

(4) This Act has been co-sponsored by Representative Wiitedo.

(5) This Act amends the following acts:

2. Reasons and Intent

(a) Public Execution. The Government of Redmont or the Department of Homeland Security shall kill the person convicted of Treason with any firearm, wherein a minimum of 2 players must simultaneously attempt to kill, and 1 other player must kill the person convicted of Treason. A recording shall be made by any individual, where the recording spans 2 minutes before the person convicted of Treason is killed and 2 minutes after they are killed. This recording is to be posted by the Department of Homeland Security in the DemocracyCraft Discord #government-announcements channel in its entirety.

The Public Execution Act adds Public Execution as a penalty for Treason in Part 2 section 4 of the Criminal Code Act. A court may now sentence a person convicted of Treason to be killed by the Government or the Department of Homeland Security, with the execution recorded and posted publicly in the DemocracyCraft Discord #government-announcements channel.

Treason is the most serious attack a person can make on the Commonwealth, and until now its penalty has been a fine and a short removal from office. This bill gives the courts a penalty that reflects how serious the offence is, and making it public sends a clear message that betraying Redmont has consequences.

However: the bill leaves the practical side of an execution open. It does not say who orders it, when it happens, or that it must wait until any appeal under section 35(4) of the Constitution is decided, and the recording is left to "any individual". To close those gaps I will issue an Executive Order setting out how the Department of Homeland Security carries out a Public Execution. The definition of Public Execution also sits in the Act rather than in the Criminal Code itself, which Congress could tidy up in a future amendment.

Overall, this is a strong statement that Treason will be taken seriously, and with clear procedures it can be carried out fairly.

I thank Representative eatean for authoring this bill, and Representative Wiitedo for cosponsoring it, and Congress for passing it.

This bill has been granted assent and is hereby signed into law.
