Rights of citizens
Citizens who have reached the age of 18 enjoy various rights set out in the Constitution and laws of Nova Roma. The following rights of the citizens who have reached the age of 18 are guaranteed by the Constitution:
- 1. Complete authority over their own personal and household rites, rituals, and beliefs, pagan or otherwise; except where this Constitution mandates participation in the rites of the religio Romana, such as the case of magistrates and Senators;
- 2. The right and obligation to remain subject to the civil rights and laws of the countries in which they reside and/or hold citizenship, regardless of their status as dual citizens of Nova Roma;
- 3. The right to vote in elections as members of their various comitia on matters brought before the people in such manner as described in this Constitution;
- 4. The right to participate in all public fora and discussions, and the right to reasonably expect such fora to be supported by the State. Such communications, regardless of their content, may not be restricted by the State, except where they represent an imminent and clear danger to the Republic. Such officially sponsored fora may be expected to be reasonably moderated in the interests of maintaining order and civility;
- 5. The right of provocatio; to appeal a decision of a magistrate that has a direct negative impact upon that citizen to the comitia populi tributa;
- 6. The right to privacy; security in one's home, person, and property; and authority over one's home, person, and property. Homes may not be searched, persons may not be detained, and property may not be seized, except by judicial ruling or by a special provision of law;
- 7. The right to seek and receive assistance and advice from the State in matters of religious and social disputes occurring both within and outside the direct jurisdiction of Nova Roma; and,
- 8. The right to pursue business enterprises within Nova Roma through the institution of the ordo equester (equestrian order), and the right to receive reasonable encouragement to build a strong economy through Roman-oriented commerce; the only restrictions being those informational and other materials copyrighted by the State, which shall remain the property of the State.
(From chapter II.B of the Constitution)
This enumeration of rights, however, cannot be taken to exclude other rights that citizens may possess. Other rights are mentioned explicitly in various documents found in the tabularium. Citizens also enjoy various rights which are not derived from the written law but are based on custom or ancient Roman practice.
Duties of citizens
The overriding duty of every citizen is to obey the law of Nova Roma.
