In a free enterprise system, the large corporations divide their employees into departments. A department manager supervises a team of people, but he does not have the freedom to decide what his team does. Each department is created for a specific purpose, and the managers have to fulfill that purpose. Every department is working for the benefit of the corporation, so the departments work together rather than fight with one another.

This constitution creates an economic system in which the city is essentially one, giant corporation. The businesses are analogous to departments of that corporation, and the executives of the business are analogous to the managers of the departments.

The ministers create businesses for specific purposes, such as to manufacture copper wire, conduct a research program, or raise chickens for eggs. The ministers hire executives to manage the businesses. The executives do not have the freedom to do whatever they please with their business. Instead, they must fulfill the purpose of their business.

All of the businesses belong to the city, not to the executives or ministers. Therefore, the ministers create businesses for the benefit of the city, and the executives operate the business for the benefit of the city.

In a free enterprise system, the departments of a corporation do not compete with one another, but the ministers are required to put most businesses into competition. They accomplish this by creating two virtually identical businesses that have the same purpose.

In a free enterprise system, businesses compete for profit, and they try to drive each other to bankruptcy, but the ministers are responsible for ensuring that the businesses compete to be the most useful for the city, and that they inspire one another.

Most businesses repeat the same procedures day after day, rather than explore the unknown and experiment with new ideas. Therefore, when the ministers must hire an executive for that type of business, they do not want a person who has the personality of an explorer. Rather, they want a person who has the talent to organize a group of people into a team; inspire the team; and keep the team operating properly.

By comparison, when the ministers create a business to do research, they must find a person who has the courage and desire to explore the unknown.

Although that concept might seem obvious, we have such a strong desire to follow what we are accustomed to that we have a preference for leaders who also want to follow traditions. This results in most voters preferring candidates who follow traditions rather than advocate new ideas, and it results in most businesses giving preference to the job candidates who want to follow traditions. Unfortunately, this results in government officials and business executives who resist new technology and new ideas.

The people who want to follow traditions are acceptable for management positions in which they supervise a team that repeats the same procedures every day, but the  businesses that do research must be restricted to people who show an above-average ability and desire to explore new ideas.

The existing cultures promote the concept that all people are "equal". The problem with that concept is that the word "equal" is as vague and confusing as the word "freedom", and that is causing people to use it in different and conflicting manners.

This Constitution requires that everybody be provided with equal amounts and qualities of food, housing, material wealth, recreational activities, and educational opportunities, but people are not "equal" in their mental or physical abilities or limitations. Therefore, people can be given different treatment at jobs, recreational activities, and schools.

Every human is similar to other humans, but if everybody was identical in their physical and mental characteristics, then we could pick people at random to become plumbers, scientists, doctors, and carpenters, and every employee would perform exactly the same at their job as everybody else. We could also pick a person at random to be our frinds and spouse.

However, we are not "equal" in our mental and physical characteristics. Therefore, we must treat people differently according to their particular characteristics. For example, a job should be adjusted to fit an employee's particular physical and mental abilities. This requires the managers to learn the details about an employee's characteristics, including his age and medical problems. That requires that we gather information about everybody and put it in a database. We cannot adjust jobs or school courses to fit a person's abilities and limitations when we allow people to be secretive and deceptive. We need to know the truth about one another.

The free enterprise systems and democracies give everybody, including children, the freedom to create any business, recreational activity, school, social club, religion, charity, or other organization they please, and the freedom to become the leader of the organization. They also have the freedom to give the organization to their children or spouse. That type of freedom allows organizations to be under the control of people who are incompetent, abusive, selfish, dishonest, mentally ill, or involved with crime networks.

This constitution changes the situation dramatically by encouraging people to propose new organizations, but denying people the right to be the executive of it, or even a member of it.

For example, assume Joe wants to create a business to modify a robot to use a high-pressure water spray to clean the tiles of a city plaza, or he wants to create a social club that allows people to create and maintain bonsai trees for a city plaza. He would post a document in the Suggestions category to describe his idea. If a minister approves of the idea, then he will set up the organization, but he is not obligated to hire Joe to be its executive. If the minister believes that Joe is inappropriate as an executive, then he will add a listing to the Jobs database for an executive of it.

If Joe is not chosen to be the executive of the organization, but if he wants to be a member of the organization, then he has to apply for the job just like everybody else, and the executive determines whether Joe becomes a member.

A person who conceives of a new organization does not have the right to be the executive or a member of it. Every organization in the city belongs to the city, not to the person who conceived of it.

This is not a new concept. All families and businesses follow it. For example, if a child conceives of the idea of his family traveling to a nearby lake for a picnic and to go swimming, he does not have the right to organize the event, choose the day of the event, drive the automobile that transports the family to the lake, or choose the food for the picnic.

Likewise, if an employee conceives of a new department for the business, or a new social activity for the employees, he is not given the authority to implement or supervise his idea.

Parents  and businesses make decisions according to what is best for their team, and this Constitution requires the ministers to make decisions according to what is best for the city.

The ministers hire and fire the executives, so a person who wants to become an executive has to apply for the job, even if he is the person who came up with the idea to create the organization. Nobody has the right to a particular job.

The qualifications that a person has to meet in order to become an executive depends upon what type of organization he wants to control. For example, a teenager would be considered qualified as a restaurant executive if he had successfully supervised a Teentown cafeteria, even if he is only 18 years old.

At the other extreme, a person who wants to be the executive of a technically advanced factory, research laboratory, or hospital would need a lot more experience and education.

One of the problems of a free enterprise system is that executives can keep their positions even when they are abusive to their employees, cheating the government, or deceiving customers. The executives are chosen by investors, and most investors are concerned only with profit, not whether the executive is beneficial to the human race.

Free enterprise favors selfish executives who treat us as inferior creatures.

By putting businesses into competition for profit with no concern for how they make the profit, the free enterprise system favors the people who behave like an aggressive monkey that grabs bananas from other monkeys.

The successful executives of a free enterprise system appear to have extreme levels of selfishness, and excessive cravings for wealth and status.

They have so little concern for human relationships that they don't have much concern about the crime, filth, or chaos of their city. As with the medieval Kings, they want to live in a giant castle that is isolated from us.

Each minister is required to routinely give a job performance review to the executives that he hired, but instead of judging the executives according to their ability to make profit, the ministers must pass judgment on the effect that the executives are having on society.

For example, an executive must be replaced – even if he does an excellent job of managing his business – if he creates a work environment that is causing an abnormal number of injuries among the employees, or which is causing the employees to develop bad attitudes, or which causes many employees to quit after only a few months.

Every large organization follows this concept, but only for the lower-level managers. For example, the manager of a department within a large corporation would be fired if he caused his team to develop such bad attitudes that they disrupted the operation of the business, or if his employees were quitting after a few months.

However, the top executives of corporations are judged by investors, and most of them are concerned only with profit. This allows top executives to remain in a leadership position even if they are creating a miserable work environment or worthless products.

The free enterprise system is successful because it is similar to "nature". Nature gives every creature a chance for life, and doesn't discriminate against them. Most of the baby plants and animals suffer and die, but all babies are given an opportunity to survive.

As with nature, the free enterprise system provides everybody with an opportunity to create "baby businesses", and the free enterprise system does not discriminate against any of the babies. Most of the businesses will suffer and "die", but they were all given the opportunity to survive. This system has the advantage of allowing unusual people with unusual ideas to create unusual businesses, and this has resulted in many "wild" ideas becoming useful material items, explorations of the world, and research projects.

For example, neither of the two Wright brothers graduated from high school, but the free enterprise system gives everybody the freedom to start a business regardless of their education. Their first business failed after only four months, but the free enterprise system gives everybody the freedom to try again, and as many times as they please, just as nature gives every creature the opportunity to reproduce as many times as they please.

If the Wright brothers had to get approval from a government agency to start their airplane development business, they might have been turned down on the grounds that they were uneducated, and because their first business was a failure.

The free enterprise system is very successful because it gives everybody the opportunity to test their abilities. However because there is no authority, it has the disadvantage that there is nobody to stop the abusive and dishonest businesses. This allows idiots, lunatics, and crime networks to get in control of businesses, and it allows people to create businesses that produce idiotic, worthless, dangerous, or deceptive products.

Furthermore, the high failure rate of businesses causes a lot of suffering among the employees and investors. It also results in a lot of people deciding to cheat in order to prevent their business from failing.

Governments have created laws and agencies to stop the abuse by business executives, but business executives and investors react by finding new methods to cheat and abuse us. Governments also provide financial assistance to the employees of failed businesses, and schools provide tenure for the teachers, and labor unions have developed to improve the treatment of employees, but the free enterprise system continues to be a cruel system.

In order to create an economic system that can rival the advantages of the free enterprise system, but have fewer problems with selfish, abusive, and dishonest businesses, this Constitution sets the following rules:

•	The ministers are required to be generous with creating new organizations. This will result in a lot of failures, but we cannot have success without failures. However, there will be fewer failures compared to a free enterprise system because the ministers will be able to prohibit some of the irrational situations that occur in a free enterprise system, such as when a person creates a business that duplicates what some other business is doing, in which case the businesses have to fight each other for customers. An example is when a person opens a food market that is virtually identical to, and very close to, another food market. That type of competition does not cause businesses to inspire one another or develop beneficial attitudes. Rather, it causes businesses to behave like monkeys that are grabbing bananas from one another.
•	Nobody has the right to be an executive, but the ministers are required to be generous with opportunities to be an executive.
•	The ministers must routinely replace the worst performing executive so that other people have the opportunity to test their abilities, and to ensure the executives are among the best possible.
•	The Courts Ministry is required to set higher standards of behavior for the executives, ministers, and other people in leadership positions. The Courts Ministry cannot use punishments, threats, or intimidation to improve the dishonest executives. Instead, the executives who are guilty of serious crimes must be evicted or euthanized.
•	The ministers must judge the executives by their value to society, rather than their ability to make profit or their popularity among their employees or customers.

The ministers are permitted to create businesses that have only one employee, which is analogous to a sole proprietorship in a free enterprise system. This option is useful for the people who want to work on their own, and who are doing a job that they can do by themselves, such as providing maintenance for swimming pools or bicycles.

Although those executives are the only employee in their business, they do not have the right to remain in control of the business, or give it to their children or spouse. The business belongs to the city, and the executive is a city employee who can be fired at any time.

The only disadvantage to sole proprietorships is that it creates more work for the ministers. The more sole proprietorships that a minister creates, the more executives he must hire, fire, and provide job performance reviews to.

Bicycle shops are appropriate for sole proprietors.

The ministers are required to authorize or deny a sole proprietorship according to what seems best for the city, not according to the burden it puts on them.

For example, it would be convenient to have a bicycle shop in every neighborhood so that people can pick up and drop off bicycles in any neighborhood.

Those neighborhood shops would be so small that they could be sole proprietorships.

The businesses cannot advertise themselves or have logos, so the bicycle shops and other businesses will have permanent signs, such as "Bicycle Shop", rather than have a business name or logo that changes every time the executive changes.

In a free enterprise system, the top executives determine how many employees the departments are allowed to have.

Since this Constitution provides employees, buildings, supplies, and equipment to the executives for free, the ministers determine the maximum number of employees for each business.

Since the businesses do not have any secrecy, the ministers have access to everything about their operation, such as their use of electricity, water, and raw materials. The ministers must occasionally pass judgment on when the businesses are using more labor and resources than they should, in which case he can demand that they reduce their consumption, or he can replace the executive.

For example, if a restaurant attracts only half of its expected customers, then the minister must require the executive to reduce his labor costs to match the work they do, such as by terminating some employees, or having some of them work fewer hours. The minister does not micromanage the business, so he does not decide what to do.

The ministers can also change the purpose of a business in order to make it more efficient. For example, a neighborhood bicycle shop might not have enough work to keep one person busy, in which case the minister could have that business handle other things also, such as the electric vehicles for children, rollerskates, or drones.

In a free enterprise system, the large and well-known businesses have some significant advantages over small and new businesses. For example:

•	The businesses that have been established for a long time have an advantage over the young businesses because we have such a fear of the unknown that we have a tendency to purchase from businesses that we are familiar with.
•	The businesses that are large have an advantage over small businesses because they have more money, which allows them to do more advertising, pay higher salaries, and afford higher quality manufacturing equipment and supplies.

This constitution creates an economic system in which none of the businesses have an advantage over the others because none of the businesses have to appease consumers, distributors, investors, banks, or retailers. Instead, the businesses work for the city, and the ministers judge them by their value to the city, not according to their size, or how long they have existed.

The free enterprise system does not provide anybody with the authority to fire the owner of a business and take over the business. This constitution changes the situation by providing every citizen with the right to request somebody else's job. This allows people to apply for jobs that are already filled, including ministers, executives, and other people in management positions. This requires firing the person who has the job.

This option is allowed for any job, but not many people are likely to request replacing a factory worker. This option is intended for the people who want to replace somebody who has more influence over society, such as a manager, executive, minister, scientist, engineer, or computer programmer.

Even though the businesses are independent organizations, they all belong to the city, and every persons is a city employee. Every business and every employee is working for the same goal; namely, to improve life for the people in the city.

Everybody has a responsibility to get a job, but nobody has the right to any particular job. Instead, everybody is encouraged to try different jobs and figure out which jobs they are the most productive at, and brings them the most job satisfaction.

By allowing people to request somebody else's job, we encourage the attitude of "Let me do/try that job!" Although this is a bizarre concept for a free enterprise system, it occasionally happens when friends are trying to accomplish a task. For example, if a group of friends are preparing to go on a hike, or go kayaking, or go skydiving, one of them might request that he do a particular chore because his friend is not doing a very good job.

In a free enterprise system, people are terrified of being fired, and that results in some people keeping a job that they don't like or are not very good at. However, this Constitution creates an economic system that regards being fired as part of the process of discovering our talents and desires. Nobody needs to fear being fired because the city will help a person find a job, if he needs help, and the city provides everybody with food, a home, and everything else they need, so nobody has to fear hunger or homelessness.

It is in everybody's best interest for everybody to find a job – or jobs – that they are the productive at and enjoy. We all suffer when people are in jobs that they don't like or that they are incompetent at. Therefore, this constitution encourages people to try different jobs to figure out what they are best at and enjoy the most.

A person who wants to replace an employee must post a document in the Suggestions category to identify the employee he wants to replace, and provide a brief description of why he should be allowed to replace him. If the minister believes that he might do a better job, then he will replace that employee.

That person will then be judged according to his performance, so if he fails to do a better job, then he will have a difficult time convincing ministers to give him another opportunity to replace somebody. However, if he is successful, the ministers will be more likely to let him replace somebody else in the future.

In addition to helping people discover the jobs that they are best at, this option allows people to bring improvements to businesses. For example, a person who is an exceptionally talented manager could request to replace a particular manager, and then reorganize and improve that particular business. He could then request to replace another manager at another business, and then bring improvements to that business.

Although the people he replaces might be upset about being replaced, everybody benefits, including the people he replaced, because he would improve one business after the next. He would be a beneficial employee of the city.

The Health and Social divisions of the government do not create "businesses", but they create social organizations, and they must hire an executive for their organizations. For example, the Health Division ministers hire the executives of schools and daycare centers, and the Social Division ministers hire executives for the courtship affairs and recreational activities.

All of the concepts mentioned above for business executives apply to the executives of the social organizations. For example, the executive of a daycare facility might operate it very efficiently, and both parents and children might approve of her performance, but if the Childcare Minister considers the children to be picking up bad attitudes, he must replace her.

Likewise, the executive of a recreational activity might operate efficiently, and he might be popular with the public, but if the Leisure Minister considers him to be causing the people to develop bad attitudes or behavior, he must be replaced.

Each minister is required to give a routine job performance review to the executives that he selected, and he must routinely replace the worst performing executive. The ministers cannot tell the executives how to run their business, although they are permitted to provide advice.

To provide some checks and balances over the ministers and their executives, the Efficiency Ministry in the Quality Division has the responsibility to pass judgment on the job performance of the ministers.

If the Efficiency Minister comes to the conclusion that a minister should have replaced a particular executive, he can arrange for an intellectual trial of that minister. If the trial determines that the minister has been replacing beneficial executives and leaving incompetent or abusive executives, then the minister will have a failure added to his database entry. The president must routinely replace the worst performing ministers, so those with the most failures will be replaced first.

An example of why the Efficiency Ministry might arrange for an intellectual trial of a minister is because I have personally seen a man get promoted to a management position because he was successful in increasing the efficiency and profit of his team, but he did so in a manner that created an unpleasant and unsafe work environment, which lowered the quality of their products and the attitudes of the employees. For example, he removed a lot of lightbulbs in the basement, and he rarely changed the lye that was used for cleaning, resulting in food processing components that were not properly cleaned.

The top management was impressed by the increase in profits, but they did not realize that he was causing employees to lose interest in their jobs, and causing customers to become increasingly dissatisfied. Over many months it resulted in the business slowly losing sales, but the decrease was so slow that the management never seemed to figure out that it was because of his "clever" techniques to increase profit.

If a minister judges an executive only by how efficient the business is, then that minister might assume that the executive of an efficient business is very talented, when in reality the executive might be incompetent, abusive, or dishonest.

The only way a minister can do a proper job of judging a business executive is to make unannounced visits to the business and pass judgment on the work environment, the safety of the employees, the attitude and morale of the employees, and the quality of the products.

Nobody enjoys having unannounced inspections, but it is necessary to ensure a modern economy is functioning properly, so we must learn to accept such a policy. Therefore, the ministers are required to make unexpected visits. Eventually they will be able to send robots and drones to inspect some of the businesses. The ministers who give advanced notice of an inspection must be replaced. The people in management positions are required to be more law-abiding than the public.

The executives who try to intimidate or deceive the inspectors must be regarded as unacceptable for a management position, and they must be replaced. The ministers are required to set high standards for the executives, and not tolerate abuse.

If a minister suspect that an executive is committing crimes, they cannot ignore it. They must notify the Security Ministry in the Quality Division. As discussed in the section about leaders, people in leadership positions must meet higher standards than the ordinary citizens. Dishonest leaders must be arrested.

Likewise, the ministers and executives who ignore crime are regarded as being as detrimental as the criminals. This constitution does not regard people who expose crimes as "tattletales", or as "rat finks". Rather, every citizen, and especially the people in leadership positions, are expected to  participate in the maintenance of society by exposing criminal behavior.

The employees of a business are encouraged to expose problems with their management, but they must do so by creating a document of their complaints and suggestions so that they avoid a very common problem that has been occurring all throughout history; namely, people getting into this disputes over who said what.

Employees who have a complaint about their management must put some time and effort into creating a document to explain their complaint, and post it in the Suggestions category for everybody to see, rather than complain verbally to other people in the business. The management of the business must respond with a document, also, rather than making verbal responses to the employee.

Requiring people to post documents of their complaints and responses as the additional advantage of putting pressure on the people to put some effort into thinking about what they are writing, thereby improving their complaints and responses (described in this section).

In a free enterprise system, an employee who posted a critical review of his management on the Internet would likely suffer retaliation from the management. He might also become blacklisted by other businesses.

However, this Constitution does not promote the concept that employees are the possessions of a business. Instead, this constitution regards everybody as a "city employee".

An employee is a team member of the city, not the possession of the business. The executive of a business is just another city employee. He has no authority to stop people from passing judgment on his job performance. His employees are subservient to him, but the employees should not ignore or tolerate abuse, incompetence, or bad attitudes. The employees should not behave like apathetic sheep or medieval peasants.

The employees should take an active role in maintaining the quality of their team, which includes maintaining the quality of their management. The employees should regard their managers as "employees who have management tasks", rather than as Kings and Queens.

The people in management positions do not have any special privileges. Everybody in the city, including the top officials, are considered "employees of the city", and everybody must follow the same rules of behavior. Everybody must treat every other employee with respect. Nobody is permitted to treat anybody else as a peasant.

An employee who can identify incompetent or abusive managers is considered to be a valuable citizen because he is helping improve the management of the team. An entry in his database will be added to show that he has had a success in improving the quality of the city's management. That will improve his chances of getting into a leadership job.

If a manager tries to get revenge on an employee who criticizes him, he must be regarded as behaving like a communist dictator, an animal, or a crime network leader. One of the lessons that we should learn from our history is that we will ruin a society when we allow leaders to eliminate their critics and competitors.

Our leaders must meet higher standards of behavior than the ordinary person, so the people who apply for management jobs must expect to be given job performance reviews by a lot of people. People who cannot calmly handle critical analyses of themselves should not apply for management job. There is no pity for a person who wants to be leadership position and then has a tantrum when people criticize his behavior or performance.

Our leaders should behave like a military drill sergeant who is trying to help his team members develop their talents and become more productive. It is foolish to tolerate leaders who try to suppress or censor criticism, or who encourage their team members to be submissive peasants. Our leaders should encourage their team members to look for ways of improving the team, and that includes being critical of the management of the team.

In a free enterprise system, a leadership position can provide a person with a lot of special privileges and pampering, but in this constitution, leadership is considered to be a very difficult job. Teenagers are required to be given management tasks in order to help them understand these concepts.

The ministers in the Economic Division are in competition with one another to identify the businesses that are the most useful to society. If a minister authorizes a business that turns out to be beneficial, he will have a success listed in his database entry, and if he authorizes a business that turns out to be useless or detrimental, he will have a failure listed.

If a minister turns down a project that is later approved by some other minister, and which turns out to be beneficial, he will have a failure added to his database entry, and the minister who approved it will have a success added to his entry.

The ministers who have the most failures are the first to be replaced, and this will give us an economic system that is dominated by ministers who excel at identifying businesses that are beneficial for us.
