I propose amendments to advance solidarity and subsidiarity: Amendment 1. The United States shall strive to engender solidarity among its people, based on the principle that the goods of creation are meant for all. That which human industry produces through the processing of raw materials, with the contribution of  work, must serve equally for the good of all. The solidarity which binds all citizens together as members of a common family makes it impossible for the Federal government to look with indifference upon vast inequities among its citizens. Rather, the government shall have the power to so regulate the economy as to lessen inequality, prevent a destructive concentration of essential commodities in the hands of a few, and ensure the goods of society are shared with reasonable equity among the populace. Congress shall have power to enforce the provisions of this amendment by appropriate legislation. Amendment 2. The United States, following the principle of subsidiarity, shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and, upon application of the state Legislature, against domestic violence. If a State fails to guarantee such government to its citizens, the Federal government shall be obliged to do so. Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce the provisions of this amendment by appropriate legislation. Amendment 3. The United States, following the principle of subsidiarity, shall guarantee to all citizens their natural, civil, political, and social rights as enumerated in this Constitution. If the government of a State fails to protect these rights among its citizens from encroachment by any person or group, the Federal government shall be obliged to do so. Congress shall have power to enforce the provisions of this amendment by appropriate legislation. Amendment 4. All political power is inherent in the people, all government of right originates from the people, and the people have the right to alter, reform, or abolish their governmental system whenever they deem it necessary to protect their liberty and well-being; therefore, the people of the United States possess an inherent and inalienable right of local, community self-government in each county, city, town, township, village, parish, and borough. This right shall include the power of the people, and the power of their governments, to enact and enforce local laws that protect health, safety, and welfare by recognizing or establishing rights of natural persons, their local communities, and Nature; and by securing those rights using prohibitions and other means deemed necessary by the community, including measures to establish, define, alter, or eliminate competing rights, powers, privileges, immunities, or duties of corporations and other business entities operating, or seeking to operate, in the community. Local laws adopted pursuant to Section 2 shall not be subject to preemption or nullification by international law, federal law, or state law if those local laws do not restrict the fundamental rights of natural persons, their local communities, or Nature secured by local, state, or federal constitutions, or by international law; and if those local laws do not weaken protections for natural persons, their local communities, or Nature provided by state, federal, or international law.
