THE PHOENIX CHARTER

Vox Populi est Sui Iuris — The Voice of the People is Sovereign

Latin accuracy

Vox Populi est Sui Iuris literally means “The voice of the people is of its own law.”
That’s elegant Latin for self-governing, self-legislating, or sovereign by its own right.
It expresses legal sovereignty — not just “lawful” but autonomous.

WHAT IS THE PHOENIX CHARTER?

The Phoenix Charter is a single, unified covenant of liberty, governance, and custodianship.
It merges the principles of every historic Bill of Rights and Declaration of Freedom into one living document for the modern age.
Under the Charter, all public power becomes service; all authority remains provisional upon the continuing consent of the people.

The Charter includes three permanent structures:

  • **The Trust ** – safeguards the Charter and all related systems for humanity in perpetuity.
  • **The Crowd-Device ** – the secure, open-source mechanism through which every citizen can vote and review decisions in real time.
  • **The Phoenix Fund ** – a non-profit civic fund that builds and maintains the technology and infrastructure that make the Charter possible.

DECLARATION OF TRANSITION AND RENEWAL

We, the peoples of Earth, withdraw our consent from systems that have failed to serve the public good.
We transfer that consent to this new covenant of service — The Phoenix Charter — where power serves and dissolves when it oppresses.
Governance from this point forward means stewardship, not rule; transparency, not secrecy.

THE BILL OF RIGHTS

The Charter affirms every freedom recognised across history and adds new guarantees for the digital and ecological age:

  • Personal Sovereignty over body, mind, and life.
  • Liberty, privacy, and due process.
  • The Right to Truth and Information Integrity.
  • Freedom from Coercion and Corruption.
  • Safe Health and Biological Integrity.
  • Access to the Natural Commons.
  • Cultural Continuity and Indigenous Self-Governance.
  • The Right to Self-Defence and the Bearing of Arms.
  • Equality before the Charter.
  • Supremacy of the Charter — any law that violates these rights is void.

GOVERNANCE BY CONTINUOUS CONSENT

Through the Crowd-Device, every citizen’s vote remains a living signal that can be revised at any time.
Laws stand only while they hold majority consent.
All officials are employees of the people, accountable through open audit and instant recall.
No lobbying, bribery, or hidden influence is lawful; every communication and transaction is public.

THE PHOENIX FUND & TRUST

The Phoenix Fund powers this movement. It receives voluntary contributions and publishes a transparent ledger of every expense.
The Perpetual Custodial Trust holds the Charter, the Crowd-Device, and their intellectual property for all humanity.
Together they ensure that the Charter can never be sold, monopolised, or corrupted.
