The self-styled '''''amici dignitatis''''' were a group of citizens, each at a relatively early stage of public life, who {{Nov 22}} {{2000}} banded together to oppose what they perceived as oligarchic, illiberal, and authoritarian tendencies among the leading citizens of the day, and to promote transparent government, individual rights, tolerance, and political participation.

They were thought of by some as a political party, since they supported one another's candidacy for public office and issued (shortly before election-time) a joint statement with the appearance of a manifesto; but they always rejected this label.

Many members of the group left Nova Roma {{Mar 15}} {{2001}}, after which time the group ceased to exist as a political force.

''Salvete, Quirites Novae Romae''

We, the ''Amici Dignitatis'', gather in the ''Dignitas'' Forum, joining in free association, to promote the principles of democratic process in Nova Roma.

We recognize:

1) that the sovereignty of our ''Res publica'' rests solely with the People who form it;

2) that the government of Nova Roma and all of its associated ''sodalitates'', lists, and fora are to be free and open to all citizens;

3) that the actions of all government agencies, officials, and magistrates of Nova Roma are to be made on behalf of all its citizens and therefore are accountable to the people of Nova Roma assembled in ''Comitia'';

4) that each and every citizen, and every applicant for citizenship, enjoy certain individual rights without any exception, and that these rights are to be guaranteed and protected under the laws of Nova Roma, and that among these is the right of redress before the people assembled in ''Comitia'';

and

5) that beyond the laws of our ''Res publica'' the ''dignitas'' of each individual is entitled to the same degree of respect and civility commonly afforded all citizens within our ''civitas''.

In order to further promote the principles of democratic process in Nova Roma, we propose to sponsor and support open communication among all citizens of the ''Res publica'' through varied means:

1) Sponsor open fora in which all citizens of Nova Roma may participate.

2) Sponsor moderated civil debate before all citizens.

3) Provide a multilingual list, known as the ''Dignitas'' list, for political discussions separate from the Nova Roma main list.

4) Sponsor, support, and/or assist in the establishment of lists for each ''provincia'' and territory in its native language as well as the Nova Roma ''lingua franca''.

5) Arrange, coordinate and schedule chats between ''cives'' of our varied ''provinciae'' to promote international communication within Nova Roma.

6) Assist all ''cives'' in participating in Nova Roma's political life by providing information on Nova Roma political institutions in the varied languages of the ''Res publica''.

7) Encourage and provide nonpartisan assistance to all citizens in preparing position papers on their ideas for posting to the ''Dignitas'' list.

8) Provide nonpartisan information concerning issues to be presented to the varied ''comitia'', and on candidates for major and minor magistracies.

We, sponsors of the ''Dignitas Forum'', commit ourselves to the ideals of the democratic process and to the promotion of the goals of the ''Dignitas Forum'' by offering our assistance to all citizens in participating in the political life of Nova Roma.
