A community, where members create the rules

So at a sudbury school, and so including the one I work at, the members of the school/community are required to abide by the laws/rules approved through majority vote by the members. For cases of grievances, a case can be submitted to the Judicial committee, which is formed by the members. The Judicial committee holds a hearing, and investigation, which involve questioning the witnesses, and the victim(s). Upon finding members guilty, then a decision is made as to the consequence that fits the offense.

Also, weekly, a school meeting is held where all propositions/requests are heard and voted upon. This can include requesting for funds, voting on new rules, or any matter that affects the school/community as a whole.

A school sleepover is an event, which can be set up without having to go through school meeting, unless they require funds. Each person is free to go and create any event or field trip. And naturally, someone must take on the responsibility to create the project. This involves sending out invitations, organizing a day, requesting funds, asking permission etc... The school is designed as a community that grants the individual power and protects each individual. So power is equal here among the members, and this includes how each individual is restricted in their power. Commonsense, no? So no one is restricting you unnecessarily out of their own self-interest. Can there be mistaken rules or laws that are voted upon? Sure, but then the community learns that, and takes the corrective actions. So The community, very much acts like an individual person in that sense, because we do make mistakes and learn from them. We also restrict ourselves in what we do. And we also express ourselves greatly, or at least we should... But that is what is missing isn't it? That expression is missing in the world.

You can't make a rule that enforces continuous expression. So rules are designed for managing the conflicts that occur among individuals, when problems occur. So when less rules are needed then you know how much integrity, and expression, and understanding/respect for life and each other exists in the community.

At the same time however, the question is whether everyone is participating in the rule creation, or whether someone else is. So if we look at countries and societies... politicians vote on the rules, and so the members of the communities don't. So there could be many rules or laws which are not needed. The only way to know would be to allow every member to propose and vote in laws/rules.
